Butterfly in the Brain – Suzanne Anker
Suzanne Anker’s work deals with biological, morphological and genetic themes. Works like Codex Genome and Zoosemiotics invoke the idea of a universal biological language, in the latter chromosome shaped glyphs form a secret script.
Utilising bilateral symmetry, her Butterfly in the Brain installation and rapid-prototyped Rorschach Series address the perennial fascination in recognising animals, faces, insects and apparitions, as well as fetishes and phobias, out of apparently innocuous organic mirrored shapes.
