This body of large format colour photographs are inspired by the twin associations of DNA and inherited memory. The photographs are exhibited as two long panels of associated imagery running down the opposite walls of the gallery space presenting a somnambulent atmosphere, like subconscious imagery from the first level of sleep.

The final images show fragments of decay: dried seed pods, shivelled flowers over pages of historical texts and newpaper obituaries. They are images built on subliminal memory: can we inherit knowledge as easily as we inherit eye or hair colour?
