well, is dificult understand the live and DNA, but I can understand that on your specific sculpture, you try to show that the live is based on one structure that not belong to the live nature. But the architects engineers use this way for to make urban contructions. And you try to build one representation from the live with one thing that is died (stick bamboo).

Your artworks mimic the geometric shapes which appear in frost, or deep in a rainforest. In other words, they mimic nature. But with purpose. Speaking of purpose, what are those two guys doing sitting there? Contemplating the art no doubt.
An Exhibition of Site -specific sculpture by Amelia Poon, a student of Cambridge School of Art in the ground of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden - from 12th May to 22nd of May, 2009.
The double helix structure in this art work illustrates the infamous DNA - basic building blocks of all living things discovered by Watson & Crick et al at Cavendish, Cambridge, 1953.
Along side, stands a similar composite framework which epitomizes a humanly "nurtured" structure at the incipience of most if not all architectural creations, e.g. The Gherkin, London, The Bird's Nest, Beijing, and by the inevitable extrapolation to the scope of non-living things, Louvre Pyramid, Paris and The Tower of Arabs, Dubai...to name but a few.
It must be noted that the non-malleable bamboo - knowingly a problematic material of construction here -- instead of pliable metal, is used in this project so as to stick by the theme of living things.
The species of bamboo as we know today is evolved from prehistoric grasses some thirty to forty million years ago, long after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
It is interesting to know that bamboo was (and still is!) extensively used, skillfully bound together with ropes to make useful items varying from tools to fixtures & fittings.
The supply of bamboo used in this work came right from the local vicinity with the kind permission and generosity of The University Botanic Garden, Cambridge.
It is thought that, in retrospect, the insistence of using bamboo in this project ties in well with the theme of Nature prior to the subsequent Nurture.
All comments & suggestions are welcome - I am all ears!
