84 cm x 60 cm ink on paper 2016 The piece focuses on finding that cortical activity become less predictable under the influence of LSD. If the brain can be thought of as fixed modular processing centres with well-trodden thought pathways, LSD increases cross-talk between these centres and increases the flexibility of thought. In theContinue reading “Unravelling Brains”

60 cm x 42 cm ink on paper 2017 C elegans is a nematode worm frequently used in biological research. It has many similarities to more complex organisms at the cellular level, such as mitochondria which generate energy for cells. Proteins involved in mitochondria can be investigated by breaking them and isolating fragments using beads tagged with antibodies.Continue reading “Deconstructing C elegans”

60 cm x 42 cm 2017 Mitochondria are the organelles that generate energy in most complex organisms. According to endosymbiotic theory they were originally cells similar to bacteria that were swallowed by larger cells. Like chloroplasts they have their own DNA, which codes for many of their proteins. Mitochondria contain multiple copies of each chromosome,Continue reading “Mitochondrial chromosomes”

60 cm x 42cm ink on paper 2017 Red blood cells are the only cells in the human body that do not have a nucleus. They develop from stem cells in the bone marrow and eject their nucleus once they reach maturity. Any genetic editing of red blood cells must be done at the stemContinue reading “Synthetic Blood”
