DNA Inspired Art Glass
DNA inspired art glass for ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, 2015
Happy New Year! I hope you’re enjoying a peaceful transition into 2016.
In the fall, I shared a DNA inspired art glass installation that I created for ARIAD Pharmaceuticals. That work has gotten me thinking about the numerous DNA inspired projects I’ve created in recent years.

The connection between my work and DNA (especially DNA heat maps) was unintentional at first. I would be contacted for a hospital or medical/science project, and the collaborating architects would note the similarities between my proposal and the way DNA data is often expressed in grids of color. Over time, that connection became more specific and deliberate as I developed ideas; and now I’ve completed multiple projects directly inspired by DNA mapping.

Of course, I’m not the only artist to be inspired by DNA mapping. A quick Google search for “DNA inspired art” brings up all kinds of great work! I’ll feature a few of my favorites soon.
