Geraldine Ondrizek
Geraldine Ondrizek, professor of Art at Reed College in Portland, creates works that combine visualizations of DNA sequences with textiles like silk. Says UWToday:
Since 2001, Ondrizek has worked with geneticists and biologists to gather images of human cellular tissue and genetic tests relating to disease, ethnic identity, and the depiction of genetically inherited conditions…Ondrizek meshes her chosen medium of cloth with the colorful and complex language of genetic data to create textile portraits of human chromosome maps.
