Dandelion Seed (2024)

Collaborative art work created with Dr Naomi Nakayama

In conversation with Dr Naomi Nakayama, who leads the Biological Form and Function Lab within the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College, London, I created an interactive sculpture to be used as a tool in the communication of the environmentally sensitive morphing of the dandelion diaspore.
This phenomenon was recently discovered by the team of scientists which she leads.
