As an artist, Vik Muniz is open to getting inspiration from anywhere and everywhere. Interestingly enough, this Brazilian-born, Brooklyn-based artist decided that recreating microscopic images of disease-producing bacteria would make fascinating patterns. Muniz’s Petri collecion for the porcelain maker Bernardaud reproduces six strains on 10.5″ plates. Unique, colorful, disturbing and most importantly, beautiful – these plates are stunning to eat off of; and are memorable as focal pieces in your china-cabinet!
