Mid-water, detached from the rock where it began its life cycle as a polyp, an almost transparent, glowing, hydroid drifted in the current. In this mature form, it is called a medusa due to its trailing tentacles. This beautiful organism, with a pale-blue aura, is bioluminescent. The discovery of its protein aequorin, known as GFP (glowing green fluorescent protein) achieved the Nobel prize in 2008, for its use in molecular biology which led to the detection of cancer cells in humans.
Medium/Process: Giclee, Paper: Canson Baryta, Archival mounting, Substrate: Dibond, Subframe
Dimensions: 23.6” x 15.7” (60cm x 40cm)
Edition: 1 of 25
