Biography

My recent work has focused on the creation of peculiar biologies - hybrid and mutant creatures that reflect our changing biological and psychological relationship to nature in the face of biotechnology. These imaginary creatures do not represent seamless versions of a possible reality but rather, imply experimentation and investigation. They are constructed of diverse elements as in a form of ‘transgenics’, the surgical cutting and inserting of parts, the experimental mixing of the animal, plant, and human – a kind of Frankenstein mingling of species.
