Exploring Microbiology Through Printmaking

Abstract

Completing the MA Multi-disciplinary Printmaking course has allowed me to push boundaries and explore my practice in unique ways.  I would describe my work as ‘Bio-art’ the exploration of art and science. My work looks at Micro and Nano imagery exploring cells, fungi and bacterium through printmaking. My practice is predominately focused on science, specifically microbiology. It is integral to my practice to gather information and collate patterns from microscopic slides and imagery. I play with the idea of growth and the mutation of cells, creating unique and unusual prints.
