Gene Weaver: Stemming from the example of tartan being a material which is used to show the identity of a family, I wanted to make a scientific version by using the data from DNA profiling. 

After testing my family, I converted the genetic results into  a visual code which when applied, created uniquely patterned fabric. Through colour you can read gene inheritance from parents and also sibling similarity connecting the family. This lead to bespoke products designed by one's own DNA. 

Phoenix // Moon Steps: I have designed two objects which try to help us connect to the universe by bringing narrative to the numbers. 

Phoenix  mirrors the language of a clock, but it shows infinite time. The idea of a circle of life, where there is constant creation from destruction.  

Moon Steps show the infinite journey of the moon away from the earth, at the speed of the thickness of a sheet of paper/day. These steps show the distance in my lifetime, with each level representing five years, and can be added to daily creating a physical record.
