Karen Neill, featured ILCC liquid crystal artist, May 2011
The Science Museum in London have expressed an interest in my work. I am desperate to continue my work but in a different way. I find it very difficult to locate the right conditions and equipment in an ideal world in my studio. If you read my Statement on my website (www.karenneill.com) you will see I was fortunate enough to win a couple of awards - with Novartis and Wellcome Trust for my work on my return in 2005 and 2008. I have recently been invited to apply for a global exhibition of scientific images by the British Photographic Society for their show in London in September I am hoping to be chosen to show my work.
A nematic liquid crystal texture - it is a film still. I have made a couple of videos of the moving liquid crystal. Taken with a Nikon 20 camera and microscope with crossed polarisers.
