Venous Drainage of the Colon

The AiA rendering shows the venous drainage of the colon. The diagram shows the branches of the superior mesenteric and the inferior mesenteric vein.

Artistically the multicolored lobular colon is seen in contrast to its delicate venous drainage.  The art piece also provides a balanced portrayal of art and anatomy with a shapes that include an overall rectangular shape of the colon combined with the rounded haustra, and the linear shape of the veins.

Philosophically it emphasises the importance of by product removal from the workers of the body- an essential component of any city.

The art is suitable for an office that has a focus on the gastrointestinal tract or a company that promotes medications for the ailments of the colon.
