COMMENTS
”I never brought it to its fullest dimension, partly because, when I was doing it, the band that represents RNA was thought to flow only one direction, into the DNA, not out from it. No sooner had I finished, it was published that RNA and DNA both ran both in and out. I can never keep up with the facts.”
”I worked on this image day and night for at least a week. It took an enormous amount of effort and time. I sat here in the studio all night long, wanting to get all this code correct, and often making mistakes.”
