Annabel had a clean-sweep of the Art as Science category at the 3i Symposium for her piece, “The Molecular Weaver”. Nice work, Annabel!

“The words “Molecular Biologist” often bring forth the imagery of a weaver to my mind. With this artwork, The Molecular Weaver, I celebrate the artistry that lies in scientific exploration. As artisans of discovery, craftsmanship meets curiosity, and creativity meets precision. Every stitch advances humanity a step forward in our understanding of the intricate mechanisms that form the basis of life.”
