Early day motion 886, tabled 13 March 2003 by Rudi Vis (Labour). Signed by 15 members.

That this House congratulates the artists Clare O Hagan and Denise Wyllie who are working with Professor John Hartley and his Cancer Research United Kingdom funded team at the Department of Oncology at University College London on their 42 metre cross-media textile artwork, Transformations in Science and Art at the Institute of Child Health, 30 Guildford Street WC1N 1EH; notes that the textile examines the growing awareness of the biological blueprint, DNA, and the vital role it plays in the development of medical research and drug therapy; believes that it reflects the dedication, openness and achievements of the scientists and represents a celebration of the inherent creativity of their work; and further notes, most importantly, that it aims to transform fearful attitudes to cancer and chemotherapy drug treatment by showing the incredible advances in scientific research and remediation.
