Biological Corruption imagines a dystopian future where genetically modified crops have infiltrated all plant life. Through seed drift and pollination, transgenic traits have spread uncontrollably, distorting natural systems and destabilising ecosystems. The result is a world overtaken by genetic contamination, a slow, creeping undoing of biodiversity.
This work is a cautionary tale wrapped in speculative fiction, using surreal and symbolic forms to explore the unintended consequences of human intervention. What begins as innovation ends in imbalance. What once was natural is now corrupted.
It’s a little grotesque, a little absurd and uncomfortably close to possible. Biological Corruption invites reflection on the fragility of our planet and the strange, tangled future we may already be cultivating.
Drawings for Biological Corruption
My drawings begin with layered mark-making: frottage, ink experiments, prints, and coloured pencil. I build up surfaces through both intuitive and deliberate gestures, drawing into printed textures and letting the materials guide the composition. These works are then scanned and digitally collaged, creating hybrid images that are printed onto fabric and stitched into — combining analogue process with digital manipulation to extend the drawing into textile form.
