Briony Marshall was awarded Pangolin London’s prestigious sculpture residency in 2012 and her first UK solo show, Life Forming, was held at the gallery in 2013. By perfect happenstance the exhibition coincided with the 60th anniversary of the discovery of DNA, and Marshall’s DNA: Helix of Life is emblematic of the great achievements of modern science. Taking a rather unconventional route on her journey to become a sculptor, Briony Marshall first pursued a degree in Biochemistry at Oxford University before following her passion for art. Making the decision to move from laboratory to artist studio, Marshall’s science background has greatly influenced her artistic practice and she uses this unique viewpoint to explore the place of the human in the context of scientific doctrine. She lives and works in London
