Description

The word "mutation" sometimes brings to mind abominations like this one, but not all mutations are harmful. Many go unnoticed, either because they were repaired before they could take effect, or because the new DNA base did not actually change the amino acid sequence. Redundancy in the coding system allows for these "silent" mutations, minimizing the chance of illness, cancer, or deformity from DNA damage.

What is this?

June 17, 2013 marked the beginning of the fifth annual 50-50, an art marathon hosted annually by Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica, California. 69 local artists were selected to each create fifty small works of art in fifty days. They will be diplayed in a 7x7 grid with the 50th set to the side, like so: [link]

My chosen theme is "Bioforms," Bic ballpoint pen on Canson "classic cream" drawing paper, 6x6. Each will be mounted on a rigid particle board backing. Here I will illustrate scientific concepts and explore the organic forms and patterns found in nature.

They are for sale for, you guessed it, $50. Please message me through my facebook artist page if you are interested. [link]
