My Perfect Child, 14" x 14", set of ten digital archival pigment prints (Epson 7500 printer), 2000/2004
"My Perfect Child" explores the history of engineering the perfect child through genetics, cloning and selective abortion and its origins in literature, psychology, anthropology, and child-rearing manuals (available as a set of prints or text and photo installation on dinnerware setting for 10 "clones", paraphrased quotes on prints from "Designing Babies" by reproductive expert Roger Gosden).
I am a digital artist who both uses and makes projects relating to technology including animation videos, photographs and digital projects using drawing, sculpture and sound installation. I have degrees in both Art and Computer Science and previously worked in the computer field and recording industry where I did software testing, flowcharting, technical writing and user training.
I am interested in patterns and systems that concurrently exist in seemingly unrelated fields. I also find fascinating cultural interpretations and bias on the findings of new scientific "facts" and how this affects both current and subsequent research. I am not interested in illustrating, only in interpreting and being influenced by scientific principles when making art.
