My practice is concept driven and processed based. I make miniature weavings from translucent fibers and then photograph these woven structures, projecting the images on a much larger scale. I am interested in exposing the faults within the weave – a metaphor for faults that occur within our own genetic structures. These holes and gaps in the weave are focussed on, because it is these differences that make the images interesting. It is this concept that I feel is extremely relevant within the debate around genetic screening, we should be cautious of screening these differences out. I am keen to explore how such tiny things as our genetic codes, can have vast implication on ourselves and society. The images I make are then produced as digital prints on canvas, to which I add paint, glitter and varnish, exploring the difference between the digital and the random mark – man against the machine, decorating the sinister. These images reference what could be read as a bar code or a genetic ladder. Is our identity reduced to a code – a method of storing information? Or is this not information storage but a decorative series of lines?
