Over the later part of the summer, twenty-one sculptures of the DNA double helix were scattered across London. These were on display until the 6th of September, and I managed to see a few of them before they were taken off the streets. The trail is titled "What's in your DNA" and it aims to raise money for Cancer Research charity to build a new research centre.

Several artists participated in the designs of the individual sculptures, and artist Thierry Noir was one of those to contribute. Thierry Noir was one of the first graffiti artists; he painted his colourful faces on the Berlin Wall. I've covered his work several times, including here and here.

I wish I could have seen all of them before they were taken off the streets to be auctioned as some of them looked very good.
