DNA methylation - Wouter Ferro, 2000; etching (aquatint, mezzotint); 15x20 cm. The work was inspired by a picture of a blot which looked like a mirror image in the water, as perceived during a lab discussion (after Okano et al. 1999; Cell 99: 247-257). Wouter Ferro worked for about 25 years in the Leiden University Medical Center, Department of Toxicogenetics, using Drosophila as a tool looking at radiation & DNA repair, before becoming more of an administrator within the same department. For about 7 years he has been practicing etching in a very serious way. More samples of the artist�s work can be found on his personal website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/w.ferro/
