Human Heart… a more recent piece from Science Against Modern Crime – it was finished just a few months ago – is derived from two sources. The first image is an illustration from an FBI manual which depicts a sequence of several impressions taken from a single inked plate. In the original image you can see the print fading as one impression after another is taken. I reversed and repeated this sequence, creating a cycle that is very close to the second image that I was working with; a sequential echocardiogram depicting one cardiac cycle of the human heart – the image represented is that of a single heartbeat.
