Six Nobel Laureates are affiliated with Vanderbilt.  My goal in Vanderbilt's Nobel Laureates: A Visual Tribute to Discovery and Innovation is to honor each of them with a single piece that represents the theme of an entire lifetime of work.

Tau

2017

I created this piece for a client and a friend who wanted a piece that had something to do with brain damage obtained from concussions.  

The tau protein (shown in blue) is thought to play a role in the development of many neurological disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and traumatic brain injury.

Boiled, Broiled or Baked

2017

I created this piece for a couple that particularly enjoys spending time by the ocean and eating seafood.

The red objects in the middle are a pigment that gives lobster its red color when cooked.  Before the lobster is cooked it is a blue/gray color because the protein (shown in blue) sequesters the pigment molecules
