The Smallpox Room by Barbara Jones in Lewis’s Window


You could easily miss this as you walk past Lewis’s, there’s no big orange cube on the wall just a small sign in the window and its a display of fabrics and wallpaper. The difference is that the design comes from electron microscope images of diseases such as smallpox and anthrax but you wouldn’t know that if you hadn’t been told, its very pretty. You can read the artists statement here
I dare someone to go into Lewis’s and ask for ‘half a dozen rolls of smallpox wallpaper and an anthrax cushion please’
