May 14, 2010 Another Double Helix






















This sculpture was created by artist Abigail Fallis and represents the DeOxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) double helix just like the sculpture in yesterday's post from Time square in Newcastle.
This is situated on Central Square behind Central Station and next to the Telegraph pub and is called DNA DL90  and the trolleys represent the 21st Century consumer culture - artist Abigail is quoted as saying “I have always wanted to use shopping trolleys in a work, and this was the ideal opportunity,” says Fallis, who lives in London. She stacked 22 trolleys in the shape of DNA’s double helix, bolting the trolleys to “arms” that she welded to a pole.
