Photos from my workshop exploring amyloids last week at VIB KU Leuven Center for Neuroscience in Leuven with researchers and patient representatives. We cast biomaterials and made amyloid milk bioplastic discussing amyloids and how they might have been the start of life on Earth
Finding the amyloid fibrils I was hoping to find under transmission electron microscopy from the sample I spent much of the week preparing as part of my artistic research in the SWITCH lab at VIB KU Leuven Center for Neuroscience
Creating art materials for a new work exploring amyloid disease using diagnostic dyes (Congo Red) and amyloid ‘seeds’ sealed in resin at the SWITCH Lab at VIB KU Leuven Center for Neuroscience. Dye experiments on silk with Sirius Red (which stains amyloids) and cochineal that breaks them down
Visualising disease-causing amyloids using Congo red dye that makes amyloids sparkle like the night sky under polarised light - as part of my residency at the SWITCH Lab at VIB KU Leuven Center for Neuroscience
