Knowledge systems

Abstract artwork with DNA helices worked on an abstract landscape, with Earth on one side and a sky full of stars on the other.

Strands Intertwined weaves a DNA strand through the landscape, with Earth depicted on one side and a star-filled sky on the other. Through this imagery, the artist suggests that science has the potential to connect whenua and whānau, bringing land, sky and people into relationship.
