For the past fifteen years I have made installations, drawing, prints and books, which focus on the documentation of biological specimens and systems of categorization.
    My recent work uses scientific imagery of cellular forms and genetic testing.
    Since 2000 I have worked with geneticists making electrophernisist tests which trace ethnic identity, life span and genetically inherited conditions that directly relate to my family.These images are primarily reproduced onto cloth and reference traditional textiles and embroidery. The textiles are used within a larger installation in which the viewer is invited to participate by sewing, reading and entering the structure. Given my families’ ethnic identity, I have focused on textile patterns and gentic tests related to the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
