SUMMARY:Intergenerational Connection
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition\, scientist and artist Dr Lynne Hocking presents handwoven sculptural objects that give physical form to data and concepts related to genetics and ancestry. \nThese works were created as part of an innovative project focusing on ancestry research and bringing together art\, craft and science. Hocking’s research highlighted that the last seven generations of her family were involved with the weaving trade. Following this discovery\, she produced artworks that represent the “weaving women / powerhouses” of her family\, working with the same materials: jute and flax/linen\, and incorporating data on their shared genetics. \nDr Lynne J Hocking is a scientist-turned-handweaver\, who previously worked in the field of human genetics. Her textile practice is research-based and experimental\, with a particular interest in genetics/ancestry\, social history\, bioacoustics and environmental/climate data; and the applications of digital technology to craft practice. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, and is held in the permanent collection of Aberdeen Art Gallery\, UK. She is based in Scotland. \n  \nEvents: \nArtist Talk – 1 November\, at the opening. ‘Presenting Intergenerational Connections’\nArtist Talk Online – 13 November\, 6pm. ‘Family Ties: unpicking and re-weaving his-/her-stories’ \nThe Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday\, 11am-5pm
