BIOLOGICAL OPTIMISATION
As biology becomes increasingly editable, these works ask whether the desire for biological agelessness is driven by hope or by fear, and what we are willing to trade in the process.
The human hand becomes the central subject in these compositions taking them beyond their illustrative idea into a more speculative space
Building through scrapping-off, re-painting, applying washes and creating information and ambiguity, mirroring the speculative space emerging.
Repetition, observation, stepping away, waiting, resolving loops in the process, making compositional, tonal and spatial decisions, while translucent washes and carefully accumulated surfaces create depth ambiguity and emotional resonance.
