Bacteria is Beautiful | Maria Peñil Cobo | TEDxColumbiaCollegeChicago

Most bacteria is harmless, and Maria Peñil Cobo wants to change the conversation about them though art.

Born in Santander, Spain, Maria Peñil Cobo is a mixed media artist currently residing in Beverly, Massachusetts. As a child, she explored San Vicente de la Barquera, a small fishing village on the northern coast of Spain.

Her work looks at metamorphosis, evolution, and latency. She looks at how nature is shaped and filters that interpretation into an abstract element, using solid, natural mediums such as hemp, bees wax, wood, branches, thread, fabrics, and seeds to display her thoughts and interpretation of the world.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
