This
installation of digitally manipulated photographs is a visual
exploration into the idea that humans could be cultivated in the
same manner in which we cultivate plants and animals – to
suit our own needs. What makes humans "valuable" are
our brains, so this is the “natural resource” that
is being selectively cultivated in these images. Micropropagation
is the science and practice of rapidly growing, multiplying and
manipulating plant tissues in Petri dishes, but in my installation,
I speculate upon how that practice might be applied to humans.
