The brief was to take inspiration from The Battle of Britain.

It looks even better than your photos of it in your studio.
Thank you very much

Diamond Light Source
Diamond Light Source | Atrium Sculpture | Commemorative Plaque | 2007
Unveiled by Her Majesty The Queen for the official opening ceremony of the synchrotron Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire.
The sculpture takes elements and details from the building's unique architectural design.
​
The sculpture that Paula delivered is stunning, inspirational and relevant. We are delighted with the way the piece reflects the architecture and the science delivered by Diamond. It is the result of a close partnership between the artists and the organisation. Best described as series of super microscopes, Diamond hosts cutting-edge research stations, supporting the life, physical and environmental sciences. This is just one example of how through art, Diamond wants to highlight the work of the synchrotron, so that the public get to know more about the science that we do in a creative and accessible way.
