Meaning is created through abstract, contrasting and definable pairs, such as life/death, nature/culture, inside/outside. But what happens when this simplistic structure is overwhelmed? Perhaps thinking in terms of opposition is redundant as a way of expressing our deeply integrated relationship with our environment, technology and life-support systems. My work explores the boundaries of assumptions of what is natural and what is artificial, living and non living. By exploring these grey areas at the threshold between nature and artifice, I reveal an uncertainty and strangeness in the apparently familiar: an unnatural nature.
