Morphosis
My work focuses on the intersection between art and science. It is concerned with the metaphors that arise within scientific iconography.
The internal landscape of the visceral body has been made visible through magnification by the microscope and other visual technologies available today. These images have entered the cultural and artistic field and continue to develop into alternative meanings.
My work compares the similarities between scientific icons, cultural artefacts and natural forms. The structure of the human growth hormone, somatotrophin evokes the pattern of beaded embroidery in my mind. Similarly the photograph of the human egg cell resembles the image of a planet in our galaxy and its structure to the skeletal form of a football. The double helix of DNA, and its genetic code represented by the four letters: GATC, have become the semiotics of life forms.
Making connections between these shared patterns across the organic and the inorganic is the basis of my work. The ‘Chiasmic’ intertwining and reciprocity between the ‘Flesh’of the body and the ‘Flesh’of the world, a theory of intersubjectivity as argued by Merleau-Ponty, finds resonance within my artistic practice.
Morpho- projections: Digital prints on aluminium are images that have mutated from my own paintings and drawings. They may create the impression of being digitally manipulated images, but are in fact manually produced. These works make connections with the Quantum and Relativity theories that have shown, the universe and all within it are a dynamic inseparable whole.
I consider these works to be metaphorical statements that unfold and reveal a way of perceiving ourselves as a part of this dynamic whole.
