About the work
Produced alongside the Bonnie Camplin exhibition, 2016.This image is taken from one of Camplin’s notebook drawings and relates to her exhibition at CAC. A poster of the same image was included in the show. The body-brain system is a transceiver of waveform information - when Camplin draws, she is decoding information transmitted to and downloaded through psychic communication. The features and qualities of feline beings include the ability to evade capture and the awareness that there is always a way in and a way out of any situation. In this sense it can be understood as a metaphor for radical evasion of control systems.
