TRACY SARROFF

Tracy Sarroff’s practice is cross-media. Ideas relating to ecology and overlapping concerns between art and science underlie the majority of her projects, whilst their form stems from basic structural compositions of living things, their growth and transformation. Patterns, structures, and fragments are sifted from the natural world and recombined. What prevails is an interest in our relationships with ecology and science and the creative boundaries of what is both imaginary and real. Frequently using ideas that are allied to science fiction and science fact, her work manifests an ambiguous natural and artificial engagement. Transgenics, biotechnology, botanical illustration, microscopy, and science fiction have been some major themes fuelling her explorations to date. Often which, can relate to contemporary society and new movements in scientific research.
