Degree show Installation

My work explores the manipulation and hybridization of animal anatomy in a contemporary artistic style, this focuses around The Sheep's heart, A home style experimental exploration into the structure aesthetics and physical possibilities of sheep’s hearts.

I look at animal research, animal experimentation and bioethics with the notion of animals as a raw material to be manipulated and “improved” by humans, and our right to do so. I want to explore our relationship with this manipulation and the moral implications it evokes. I want to push this to the point at which it may become socially unacceptable and create an internal of social debate on the acceptability of this investigation.


The overly structured and ordered set up hinges on an obsessive compulsion i poses to clean and have precise order to things in my everyday which throughout my life has worsened and a level of control over things became a necessary exertion to release tension and stress by bringing order to object.
