an extra dose of mutation...
just to recap:
to follow will be a series of pieces, mostly collage, that intended to explore the idea of mutation, and primarily our reactions to it. a doctor once said that until he came face to face with someone with a severe deformity, that he had not realised how important it was to look at that person without wincing, as not to cause offence. he said that the patient knew exactly what he looked like and there was no need for any of us to highlight this. however flinching at the sight of something uncomfortable is an instinctive reaction, which i think stems initally from pity, rather than disgust.
the following pieces are all on A4, and i decided to keep the scale small so as to force the viewer to really stare into them. to try and make them think about why they find it so difficult to look a mutations and where this stems from, or some shit like that.
