STRANGER VISIONS - Heather Dewey-Hagborg (US)

Stranger Visions is a series of portraits strained from discarded cigarette butt DNA found on Dublin, Ireland streets.

A custom computer program distills traits and creates a 3-D print.

The idea started from artist, Heather Dewey-Hagborg's thoughts about a single strand of hair, and how study of  its genetic traits may lead to discovering the owner's identity.

May I say...creepy!?

Hands & Leaves as a Reminder to Play

-
Image
As a young child, I creatively adjusted myself so that nobody really knew what I liked. It was a way to stay under the radar, so as not to rock the boat in my family. I also didn't even really know how to play. Now I know how to express myself and play, but it's taken some time. My colorful work is a reflection of play and how play is also possible for you too. May this piece be a reminder that you're safe to play.
