The imagery includes a picture of my own body reclining, twice its actual length but showing only a small section in height. Superimposed over this is a sequence of small images dispersed along the length of the piece, consisting of medieval monster figures (from Konrad von Megenberg's Buch der Natur, 1475), a small drawing inside a glass bottle, and dividing cells.
The over-layering of these images suggests a doubled process. First, the persistence in the human imagination of an affinity with human-animal imagery that predates modern science indicates a link with our evolutionary origins, and an awareness that human nature is hybridized and imperfect.
Secondly, I am addressing the feminist maxim of subjectivity-in-process by suggesting the reproduction of my own self as an auto-generated artificial progeny.
