"It is because science grows out of the preoccupations and pressures of everyday life
that its discoveries have, in the end, to be accessible to all of us."
Lisa Jardine, 1999. Ingenious Pursuits:
Building the Scientific Revolution p.8

Suzanne Schibeci and Mika Utzon Popov combine the art and science of fire in natural life cycles.

The artworks will be exhibited at Manly Art Gallery Museum from December 2016.
