• The virtual world provides no place for the physical body. As the boundaries between our virtual and real lives increasingly blur, the absence of the physical in the virtual space is destined to provoke changes in and question our notion of embodiment. In my work I aim to repair the fragmentation and dislocation of the body brought about medical imaging and electronic communication by using the digitised and coded body (in the form of MRI, CT and PET scan data) as material for making sculptures. I seek to reclaim the body from the contemporary medical and digital gaze in order to poetically subvert it and offer future relics of our increasingly digitised selves.
