X and Y ll, 16" x 20", Lightjet print on paper, 2002
I created a series of drawings and watercolours in the Genetics Department of St Georges Hospital in London, looking at cells through a microscope and in particular I looked at chromosomes. These experiences lead me to create a series of digitally enhanced, 'mocked-up' photographs of X and Y chromosomes. Some of the images appear frozen which is a reference to cryonincs, the method of freezing the dead with the hope of re-animating them in the future when medical science has evolved, an idea that has been largely discredited in recent years but which still offers a glimmer of hope
to those seeking physical immortality.
