Dr. Lora Angelova | The Science of Art Conservation
Update: 2017-10-22
Description
Dr. Lora Angelova is a chemist and researcher at the Tate Britain in London, England. What this means is: she uses chemistry, material sciences, physics, art history – and whatever else she needs – all towards the effort of conserving art. Currently, her research focuses on developing methods of surface cleaning artworks. Here, we discuss her work with NanoRestART and micro-emulsions. Lora explains micelles, and that leads us to how soap works. Then we speak a little on the surface of our cells – as it’s a similar concept. Dr. Angelova takes us through some of the work involved to keep a piece of art in a state as close to its original as possible, and how much of an effort that takes. It’s truly a labor of love.
