Liz Chapman
Artist (b. 1984, UK)
My work focuses on biology and the natural sciences, in a drive to understand the weave and weft of the world around us. I enjoy working with recycled materials, textiles and digital to recreate, mimic and dissect the substance of scientific phenomena. My artistic creations express the multiple relationships I have with matter and are an exploration and documentation of the natural world. I have developed an interest and have found artistic inspiration in the structure of micro-organisms and the way we view them, in particular the use of Dark-field microscopy. My recent work has focused on textile recreation and digital adaption, creating my own micro-structures and compositions.
