A large-scale ceramic sculpture representing one of the world’s smallest but most important organisms is to become the centrepiece for the Eden Project in Cornwall’s forthcoming Invisible Worlds programme.

Designed by artist duo Studio Swine (pictured) and commissioned with the help of cultural agency Futurecity, the sculpture will pay homage to Cyanobacteria, one of the first organisms on the planet to produce oxygen.

The sculpture will be revealed when the Invisible World’s programme is launched at the Eden Project in late spring next year (2018).
