Movement, 2021
A cross-species collaboration piece featuring a painting by C. elegans (anonymous) on an E. coli canvas, photographed by J. Saunders and complimented with pencil sketches by T. Velankar
This juxtaposition of different movements in this piece is astonishing. From the fall of the droplets to the exploration of C. elegans. From the hands of both the scientist and the artist at work. Everything moves
“Praise for Movement!”
“The most striking thing about Movement is the way that it moves me”
“Truly a classic, like the Mona Lisa, Movement will be talked about for centuries”
“Who would have thought that the humble nematode, C. elegans, had such an instinct for art?”
“The mastery in C.elegans’strokesis unparalleled!”
“The way that C. elegans effortlessly brings this vision to life has me wondering where the next masterpiece will come from”
“C. elegans has become the greatest artist among invertebrates”
“The stars have aligned, Saunders and Velankar have captured and enriched the work of C. elegans”
