Completed June 2012: GREY = color when they are in the ocean, PINK & GREEN= colors they develop as they become more river bound adults, BURNT ORANGE= tannins in the river |
Inspired by my 2011 trip to Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia |
This is original artwork and reflects my artistic interpretation of a partial DNA sequence of selected animals and plants. I tend to choose colors that reflect the habitat and animal. I am fascinated by this micro-shuffling of nucleobases to create nucleotides, which ultimately creates every living thing on the planet. The resource for this code comes from the GenBank at the National Center for Biotechnology Information. If you are interested in commissioning a piece, please contact me.
