like the one below,
a photograph I took in Walking Street, Pattaya, over the years I have seen moving neon signs, but never a sculpture, where the neon moves,
until now,
it is a work
by the New York City-based artist Tavares Strachan,
titled 'What
Will Be Remembered in the Face of All That is Forgotten',
the circulatory system is a glowing reminder of English
scientist Rosalind Franklin’s contributions to the field of science,
mainly the discovery of DNA’s molecular structures,
but here is the thing, in Strachan's sculpture the neon flows mimicking the flow of blood, the work was originally included in the solo exhibition Seeing is Forgetting the Thing that You Saw at Anthony Meier Fine
Arts in San Francisco, which examined individuals whose names have
been omitted from common accounts of history despite their great
accomplishments, Strachan, in partnership with LACMA Art + Technology Lab and SpaceX, also recently
launched a sculpture honoring Robert
Henry Lawrence Jr., the first African-American to train as an astronaut
with NASA. Although Lawrence never made it into space, a 24-karat gold urn with
his bust titled “Enoch” will orbit the Earth for seven years in a
sun-synchronous orbit, You can see more of Strachan’s sculptural work, and
keep up-to-date on the location of Enoch, on Instagram, what an amazing sculpture it really is.
