Artist Statement

Cr0ss.p0llination asks the question of what it means to engineer genetic material. Drawing elements from a diverse group of flowers, aesthetic characteristics are recontextualized to form new aggregate floral representations. These lifeless flowers suggest the tension between engineered attempts to alter life and the fragile and beautiful natural forms being manipulated.
