The project was funded by WCAIR (Wellcome Centre for Anti-Infectives Research)- the Dundee uni science labs who are investigating potential medicines to fight neglected tropical diseases that typically are not funded by other sources as there usually is less funding in the countries effected by these diseases. That’s why one of WCAIR’s aims is to inform and inspire the public about the ways that science fights poverty and disease. After visiting the labs in Dundee, I saw some of the amazing processes used to develop and investigate medicines. Such as protein crystals (google them - they’re beautiful) reactions - that inspired parts of the designs. (The ombré crystal bits) As well as inspirations from lab equipment, processes and of course the DNA and molecular structures spiralling through the piece. Thank you to everyone from @wcair_sci_garden for their help.

The work wouldn’t have been made possible without @openclosedundee who are making a huge impact on the streets of Dundee through artworks on close doors, gables end, shutters and pocket parks. All very much welcomed by the residents and locals who were so welcoming and up for a blether while we were painting the wall.

And thanks to @stobswellforum who are making a real difference around their community - which the residents clearly all love. And I can see why.

Cheers again to @finnwonda and @suresigns_glasgow for yer helping hands. ✨✨💪🏼.
