The figures on Abington Street (known as Discovery) commemorate the Northampton-born scientist Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the DNA structure. [1, 2]
Created by sculptor Lucy Glendinning, the figures and their support represent: [1, 2, 3]
- The Double Helix: The soaring, curved plinths echo the twisting shape of DNA. [1]
- The Physics of Life: The structures are designed to represent Crick's description of DNA as a balance between large numbers and the energies of attraction and repulsion. [1]
- Optimism and Daring: The two identical, life-sized figures are captured mid-takeoff in bold, abandoned postures to symbolize the sheer daring, passion, and excitement of Crick's scientific work. [1]
I didn't know that Crick was born here.
