New Waikato Museum exhibition morphs together science, nature and art

Elizabeth Thomson: Cellular Memory is on display from February 10 to July 2 and entry is free.

Waikato Museum will host a special new exhibition with works morphing together science, art and nature.

The Hamilton exhibition is an expanded version of the touring exhibition Cellular Memory by Wellington-based sculptor and installation artist Elizabeth Thomson and opens on Friday, February 10.

It is the largest presentation of Thomson’s artworks, which are inspired by the environment. Among the highlights of the exhibition is a suite of new ‘exo-planet’ works that measure two metres in diameter.

The exhibition’s curator, Gregory O’Brien, says the “planet-like works” were a ”wildly inventive” exploration of life.
