The design of the Off-Axis rug draws inspiration from the time when the artist focused on the semiotics of medical scans and x-rays. The Off-Axis is based on a series of hand scans, replicated periodically, resulting in a sequence of mutating organisms. Scientific methods of visual data processing are matched carefully with the delicate softness and intimacy of the human body in these pieces.
