Disruptors is a series of 4 hand coloured screen prints depicting animals that have disrupted the normal genetic pattern, through genetic mutations, to end up with unusual markings. They are inspired by traditional natural history illustrations but portray 'odd ones out'.
The zebra foal with spots instead of stripes stands out in the crowd, but it is oblivious to its unusual look. Sadly, it is likely it will not live beyond its youth, the tried and tested stripy formula of its counterparts as yet creates the strongest herd.
Most of these mutations are thought to be a result of inbreeding. As populations shrink, and the genetic pool with them, there are less and less opportunities to try out something new and save themselves from disappearing forever. Hail these pioneers in their last chance saloon.
