Leigh Anne Langwell - Photograms
From the website: I have always envisioned the core of the body as somehow illuminated—a self-contained lightning storm. Swirling clouds of charged ions pass through membranes and fleshy nets. The internal light of electrical fire flashes in milliseconds like the discreet pulses of stars conducted through oceans of saline and covering vast atomic distances. Similar to the simple repetition of four amino acid sequences or cells within systems and tissues, my images—often structured around an arrangement of simple elements—serve as a codes that I use to understand by metaphor and comparison, the workings of science and the culture, poetry and beauty that are literally reflected in the cells, structures and chemical memories of the body.
