Scientist and artist Dr Lynne J Hocking (based in Scotland, UK) presents handwoven sculptural objects that give physical form to data and concepts related to genetics and ancestry. Her research highlights the last seven generations of her family as weavers. The works represent the 'weaving women of her family, working with the same traditional materials : jute and flax/linen, and incorporating data on their shared mitochondrial genetics.
