SELF PORTRAIT

Self Portrait 2005

I had my chromosomes sequenced in 2001 as part of dyslexia research for the Wellcome Trust. These were included in the Science Museum’s Exhibition, Head On (2002). I include the numbers associated with dyslexia and those of my blue eyes and the hidden recessive gene for red hair.

CHROMOSOME PUZZLE 2002

I have used my own sequenced chromosomes to make a puzzle reminiscent of the early IQ boards used on small children.
