| How do the combined powers of art and science inspire us to understand
ourselves and our place within the world? ‘Primitive Streak’ is a
project founded by the acclaimed fashion designer Helen Storey and her
sister Kate, who is Professor of Developmental Biology at the University
of Dundee.
An exhibition of these dresses will open in the Winter
Gardens on the 21st February, including a new design based on the lung,
highlighting the scale and delicacy of this astonishing organ. We
propose to discuss the impact of this exhibition on our understanding
and awareness of the lung, which represents a vital interface between
our internal and external environments.
Regular attendees will remember that Helen Storey was involved in the Wonderland Project with Prof Tony Ryan, who spoke in June 2008. |
