Daily Petri Dish

For every day in 2013 San Francisco based artist Klari Reis will be creating art within the confines of plexiglass petri dishes for a project called The Daily Dish, which is a continuation of a project she completed back in 2009. Klari uses layers of reflective epoxy polymer to create colorful and abstract paintings that look like living microorganisms. And they have the most brilliant names like Octopus Kisses, Moshing At A Pearl Jam Concert, and Jellyfish With A Brooch. We can’t wait to check in on the project to see the progression through the year . . . 86 days and counting!

    This is pretty cool! At first I thought these were done using bacteria cultures. Now THAT would be ridiculous.

    Wow, this looks really cool… I wonder, how they would look on the table, do this looks good only in pictures or could be really used.
