A String of Theories

This piece featured in an exhibition in Devon. It is a portrait of a retired chemistry professor.
I asked him for an equation which meant a lot to him, a favourite or a specific piece of work that he was especially passionate about....he gave me this a complex polysaccharide, which I then painted in his own handwriting with fluorescent paint across his head.
