About this artwork
What is in a drink? Well one answer is that there is alcohol, known chemically as ethanol. This is a two-carbon alcohol with the formula CH₃CH₂OH.
The sculpture is from the small molecules series which continues Briony Marshall’s works in which human figures are used to represent the atoms in molecules. This tells of how the same few atoms of biological life come together in different ways to produce very different molecules, each fairly simple,… but with its own unique story to tell. It also tells of how people come together in society to create complex systems.

Briony Marshall is a sculptor based in the United Kingdom whose works have been exhibited in England and Italy. Having studied biochemistry in university, she views the world through a scientific lens. In her artistic practice, Marshall explores the parallels from science that help us live in human society. Most of her molecular pieces represent "how people come together to form society, that all life is connected, and that we need each other".
