Myoglobin
Peering into the molecular scale, unseen worlds, symmetries and forms are expressed. Myoglobin is an iron- and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates in general and in almost all mammals. Creating myoglobin with flame worked glass is a fantastic way to study the protein’s structure and elegance. Protein folding is how the genetic code is deciphered from an abstract data sequence into the nano-machines and functional enzymes that run our living world. As our understanding of the atomic and molecular world expands, so does the vocabulary and modes of representation used for describing it.

Bio
<p>Anduriel Widmark, born in 1987, is an American Artist from Denver, Colorado. In 2010, he received a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree, with a concentration in painting, from Metropolitan State University of Denver. Throughout childhood Anduriel was attracted to mathematics, although this career path was not chosen, the love of numbers persisted and has become an evident influence on his art practice. Glass sculptures and oil paintings materialize abstract geometric patterns with bright dynamic shapes and interweaving lines. He frequently exhibits internationally, including at the Bridges Math Art conferences, Joint Mathematics Meetings and the Mathematical Association of America. Anduriel’s work plays with structures and their properties to develop new perspectives, using math to explore and celebrate the patterns that create our world. </p>
