Artist and designer @esdevlin created this larger than life light and animal art installation. It took her "four months hand-drawing 243 species from London's priority conservation list: swifts that fly the equivalent of eight trips to the moon and back in a lifetime, streaked bombardier beetles once thought extinct but rediscovered in Tower Hamlets, soprano pipistrelles, tall fescue planthoppers, bearded tits, moths, wildflowers, fish, fungi. All referenced from photos, then scaled up, printed on sustainably sourced birch ply, cut out, and mounted inside a sliced-open scale model of St Paul's dome." shares @camilliabloomsbury, who we discovered this incredible installation via!

John Singer Sargent, ‘Gassed’ and ‘Six Studies for Gassed’ (1918)

[robertwire]

In Gassed there is little suffering. Or rather, what suffering there is is outweighed by the painting’s compassion. In spite of the vomiting figure the scene has almost nothing in common with Owen’s vision of the gas victim whose blood comes ‘gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs’. What Sargent has depicted, instead, is the solace of the blind: the comfort of putting your trust in someone, of being safely led.
