Emma McLellan, The Devil is in the Detail, 2016 Screenprint and paint on panel |
"My work explores genetic engineering through a blending of science fiction and reality;
combining and juxtaposing literary fantasies with scientific possibilities.
Searching the internet, images of cloned animals and human medical stem cell research
sit alongside photo shopped imaginings of hybridised dysfunctional animals.
This melting pot of truth and lies reminds me of medieval printed bestiaries
of imagined and real animals presented for examination and fascination.
This body of work explores an imagined representation
of human organ cultivation and stem cell experiments."
