My Thoughts About Artists And Their Work:

Patricia Piccinni

I think her work is awesome. the S02's (synthetic organisms 2) that she had made, like the Siren Mole, or any other SO2's show that she has gone out of the way and crossed boundaries. I'm quite awstuck by the way her hybrid looks extremely realistic. and from all the artists that I have seen who are extremely bizarre in there techniques i think id add her on my list. I noticed hows she has tried to build a beautiful relationship between her animals and human. I think the thinking that she has put in while making these animals has a purpose behind what she really does. Its also is interesting to look at the SO2s and ask what animals she was thinking of. Even though it doesn't really exist, when we or zoologists look at SO2 they can tell many things about what it would be like.

I think by doing all this, she is trying to raise questions in every persons mind to what technologies like genetic engineerigng might mean to us, what we think they could be use for, or what they would like it to be used fot - even NOT used for.
