Imaginal Expression Print Series

Excerpt from the circa 2004 statement:

“For the past ten years I have explored issues surrounding technoscience’s reconfiguration of the human body.  In this work, I constructed three-dimensional images of protein molecules to implicate the body in a complex interplay between representations of embodiment and assumptions underlying visualization technology.  The visual representation of these molecules exists through software that converts biotic code into three-dimensional visual images. This results in the conceptualization of the body as data rather than physical presence.  In order to reconnect these extreme abstractions to their original human physical sources, I wrapped them with scanned imagery that references the living body—flesh, hair, blood vessels, bruising, and scarring. Details from the wrapped three-dimensional molecules were then rendered from the specially constructed software program to create the Imaginal Expression Series of giclee prints.”
