The artist is Cornelia Kavanagh and her husband (who also helps with some of the scuplting), Penn Kavanagh. She is calling this "The Pteropod Project: Charismatic Microfauna." Pteropods are zooplankton that have a shell, which makes them particularly susceptible to ocean acidification, and her sculptures represent how she envisages they will be affected by ocean acidification. The series include sculptures of two species of shelled pteropod, Limacina helicina and Limacina retroversa. The helicina were the pieces on my conference table and the retroversa were on the lab bench.
