I found Andrea Duncan's work in the Medicine Man exhibition in the Wellcome collection gallery. Duncan uses 23 pairs of socks to depict the shape of the different chromosomes. Using socks as a visual representation made the idea much more appealing for me. Science is something ive never found easy to get my head round so seeing Duncans playful yet highly accurate print was something i found easy to interpret One the one side Duncans work has a sense of humor, and infers a lighthearted and friendly message. On teh other hand, using socks in representation of chromosomes has humanistic connotations, reminding us of our individuality.
