Detail from Crystalline
Crystalline, by artist Siobhán McDonald, on display at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris from 26 January to 12 March 2017.
Inspired by materials used on the ESA Solar Orbiter mission, the body of work that makes up the backbone of the exhibition is a series of more than 120 objects that relate to the dying glaciers and that bring the elements of contemporary engineering together with prehistory in the use of carbon and charred bone.
This picture shows one of the pieces of the Crystalline work.
Further details about this work can be read on the art&science@esa blog.
