Inspired by the natural forms and the underlying complexity within these, the small significant details, research into DNA and the makeup that makes everyone individual. It is by chance that these very small structures can affect how we develop and how it can impact our lives. My brother had Downs Syndrome and passed away when he was nine years old, so this was a significant part of my life. I decided to use this as a narrative to make a piece of artwork. The collages which included newspaper cuttings, photos, drawings, abstract patterns etc. were also in the shape of a chromosome (trisomy 21). I printed them onto acetate and suspended from MDF from the ceiling. The way its displayed is important as this resembles the fragility of life.
