Artist Statement
The majority of my work focuses on the environment, nature or natural elements in the environment. I am also interested in exploring connections; connections between the human body and the environment and the human-to-human connection. In this particular piece, “PerchBerry”, the intersection between science, nature and art is evident. The piece aims to illustrate a controversial topic in our society; genetic modification or genetically modified oranisms. Scientists are currently infusing various fruits, including strawberries, with DNA from certain species of fish. This practice remains controversial. Some believe nature is perfect and beautiful the way that it is and that it should not be manipulated, while others believe enhancements are necessary and yet others are concerned about how this unnatural combination could impact human health. This piece illustrates this fusion, taking a process unseen by the human eye and bringing it into the normal visual plane.
I used a variety of techniques to create this piece including digital imaging, photography and typography.
