The focus in my creative practice is in collaborative, transdisciplinary projects, crossing boundaries between Science and Design. In my work I’m exploring how biomedicine can be communicated through creative technology.
Specifically I’m looking at novel ways of communicating Cancer Science, Aging and Metabolism, and Mechanisms of Disease, how diseases develop and new ways of diagnosing, prevention and treatment. For me the nexus between biomedicine and design offers a vibrant opportunity to connect different ways of knowing and in communicating the unique insights gained through scientific research in molecular and cell biology, computational and structural biology and chemistry; proteomics; genomics; biostatistics and advanced digital microscopy.
My practice uses light and movement realised through custom built hardware and software, to explore ways in which Design and Science can intersect. I see the creative exploratory energies of scientists as analogous to the impulse I have as a creative researcher. We both investigate phenomena and interpret it through our distinctive ‘lenses’. I’m excited about bringing the design and scientific world views together and using creative technology and scientific visualisation techniques in novel manners, finding new audiences and ways of sharing scientific insights.
