Genetics

Genetics

These drawings are inspired by the historical and cultural relationship between Boston, Lincolnshire and Boston, Massachusetts, this exhibition celebrated the connection of the two locations as examples of cultural change and evolution. The drawings offered opportunities for reflection on the complex relationships they themselves created, and in the civilization we have ourselves built.

Scientific method and language runs throughout with the works grouped according to the Fibonacci number series. The titles are the names of major contributors to genetic research and evolutionary theory.

Exhibitions: Haven Gallery, Boston, Lincolnshire, England, UK Dec. 2007-Jan. 2008; Hull University, Hull, UK in January 2009; Ayscoughfee Hall Museum, Spalding, UK December 2009; Arts Coritani, Swineshead, UK, July 2010.
