| project name: artist name: artforms: science engagements: science partners: project description: The term Cell Culture describes a mass of cells that have been derived either from a single cell or from a group of cells from the same tissue, and maintained using solid or liquid nutrient media. This work consists of a series of Tupperware containers, in a wide variety of shapes, from which "growths", or forms from the natural world (anmal, vegetable and mineral) emerge. These organic growths, connected to the streamlined forms of the Tupperware boxes, are formed from glass beads. Beads are used for their historical association with trade. However, in Cell Culture they signify another kind of "cultural exchange": on a molecular level. The work is based upon the principle that all material bodies are derived from simple substances (elements) which are compounded to form more complex structures. Despite the multifarious appearance of all forms of existence there is an interconnecting substructure, and a complex interdependence. Cell Culture will be housed in a glass vitrine. | movies:  Bat  Cell Culture |
