TeloMeMitoWho was created as a prototype for a healthcare facility. It is about the exploration of cells and the breadth of information that they carry with them. The design takes an abstract microscopic view of various types of cells and the structures within them. The artistic process utilizes multiple layer lamination of etched, chipped, carved, painted and fused mouth-blown sheet glass. The laminated glass process lends itself perfectly for this design allowing for the creation of a more fluid, dimensional, bright and modern energy with out the structural restrictions of leaded glass.
The purpose of the panel is to potentially be installed in the health facilities boardroom. It is meant to represent the identity and science that is the root of the facility while informing viewers of a broader concept of what health is. The panel expresses structural elements of cells like mitochondrion, the main energy source of a cell and how vital that is, telomeres and how they are said to be indicators of health as protectors of chromosomes along with DNA and ribosomes. The piece narrates the orchestrated flow of how all the parts function within and for the whole of the cell and the beauty with in that.
