Leigh Anne Lester’s work addresses the “place between the genesis of genetic modification and its aftereffects.” Her drawings are layers of semi-transparent drafting film with a historical botanical image drawn on each layer. The transparency of the drafting film allows the line of each botanical to optically blend with the next layer. Elements of each of the plants mix and tangle their visual attributes intermingling disparate species of flora. Floating cells are layered with graphite drawings of separate distorted offspring plants with their color drained, implying a cellular, morphological struggle for resolution.
