Chimera

‘Chimera’ takes forward the ideas explored in the ‘Archetypes‘ series. Flesh, plant, machine, animal, organic and inorganic come together to fashion a hybrid with even more obscure antecedents. The result is somewhat unclassifiable, a category unto itself. Something tugs at your subconscious but you can’t quite put your finger on it. It
isn’t quite plant, it isn’t animal, it isn’t quite human, not exactly machine, but something else entirely; something of all those, but none of them. In the scientific realm, as the rate of genetic modification accelerates and organisms are modified with plant, animal and human genes, the boundary of form and function blurs and these strange chimeras
become more a possibility of what could be.
