Installation view of glass sculptures created in response to observing slices of cerebral organoids grown from a small skin sample.These sculptures use different UV reactive glass colours to mimic the coloured stains used in cell biology to identify and visualise different cell types and proteins.
Kinetic light units developed in collaboration with electronics engineer Robin Bussell as part of ongoing interdisciplinary project Brains in a Dish – a collaboration with Professor Selina Wray at UCL’s institute of Neurology and a Created Out of Mind/ Wellcome Hub residency.
Installation dimensions variable – (this installation approx 1200x 600 x 200cm)
