Human DNA, muscle fiber, insect wings, diatoms, and my thumbprint inspire the Living Tissue series (etchings, monoprints, and rice paper collages). The micro-bio imagery is merged with patterns from topography, script, and numbers to explore the cultural terrain between art and science, and to thread notions of written pattern and natural geometry with personal identity.
