COLLECTION 01 / Prints
Genome-derived artwork
The external body comes from the source genome. The engraved treatment and internal anatomy are the portrait renderer’s artistic interpretation.

The naturalist sheet.

A life, seen from every side.

Six engraved-style views and a colour plate bring the organism into the language of the naturalist’s cabinet. Anatomical details sit beside measurements, recorded parentage and the genome that shaped the body.

The genomic connection

The form changes.
The origin travels.

Every aspect is rendered from the same frozen genome. Numeric traits come from its 44-gene record, including segment count, appendage symmetry and pigmentation.

A world to make together

Where could this
life go next?

A print, a garment, a new material. We’re exploring ways to carry one organism’s identity into objects with a life of their own.
