Louise Bird

Today I found the work of Louise Bird, and as ever, realised that it had been sitting right under my nose at 'Bird in the House', everything you could ever want to know is always on a friends blog. I love the way that Louise is making sense of the world the universe and all those big questions that blow your mind with crochet, I also love the way that strangely it makes sense.

"My practice investigates the relationship between the unimaginably huge and the invisibly small. researching the dissipating boundaries between art, science and religion, I have come to believe that art, science and religion are the same thing. Within each there is a language that describes the creativity of the universe." Louise Bird

Wellcome Centre, London

'Human Genome Colour Chart' by artist Julie Cockburn is one of the contemporary exhibits at the wonderful 'Wellcome Collection' a fascinating gallery of art and human health exhibits from all over the world.
''Wellcome Collection is a unique mix of galleries, events, and meeting, reading and eating places where you can consider what it means to be human.
It brings to life Sir Henry Wellcome's vision of a place where people could learn more about the development of medicine through the ages and across cultures.''
