Artworks
Charlie Murphy is developing a major body of artworks, installations and participatory events in collaboration with Dr Selina Wray and her team.
Responding to the intricate rituals, patterns, colourings and readings of cell cultures emerging down the microscopes, Charlie’s delicate hand drawn glass sculptures (studies for neurons, cerebral organoids) , light projections (in vitro) and video installations aim to connect these seemingly abstract, intricate human tissues grown ‘in a dish’ with embodied, lived experiences which many audiences will relate to.
Informed by ongoing dialogues with Dr Wray’s Lab at UCL and scientific advisor Dr Madeline Lancaster at Cambridge’s MRC lab, Charlie and the BiaD team welcome contributions from new collaborators, curators and institutions to the development of new presentations and events through which audiences will be able to learn about the vital differences between growth and degeneration and consider some of the dramatic personal implications and potentials which these advances in technology present for our sense of self, wellbeing, cognitive function and life expectancy.
