WHALEVOLUTION

 Now part of the permanent gallery in the London Natural History Museum’s “Mammals Hall”, this gradually evolving artwork visualises Darwin’s “infinitude of connecting links” between species throughout the 50-million year evolution of whales. Created as part of my science communication MSc (2016).

Featured by: Museum of The Earth (New York), Oceanology Whale Center of Hawaii (Maui), Exploratorium (San Francisco), Husavik Whale Museum (Iceland), Incredible Oceans, Aeon, Slate.
