Description:
Photographs of plaster maquettes for the two monumental bronze figures installed in front of Molecular Biology's new Swann Building in 1996. From the start the artist saw these figures as improvised, thus he connected the imaginative processes of art with the imaginative processes of science. The figures are also deconstructed and reconstructed, a metaphor of molecular biology, and they are acrobats or jugglers, an image of the skill and dexterity of the scientist. Eduardo Paolozzi, one of Britain's most renowned artists, was appointed 'Her Majesty's Sculptor in Ordinary for Scotland' in 1986.
