In my trans-disciplinary Postdoctoral research I am brokering new art/science collaborations whilst continuing my explorations into innovative art/science practices. My artworks are grounded in the interconnectedness between the biomedical sciences and twenty first century perceptions of the “self”. They are structured to facilitate individual viewer immersion and completion through participation - either in real-time or virtually. I re-position installation viewers as active participants rather than passive observers of pre-existing systems. I focus on reinterpreting the research data from my scientific experiments and recontextualising it in interactive artworks, using a range of media.

I am interested in the geographies of surveillance and the body. My work moves from the directly "say it as it is" biographical to the layering of fictional biographies onto the city, the gallery and the virtual.

Coming from initial studies in sculpture and printmaking I have been making work in various forms for some time starting off with political poster, sticker making and super 8 film making in the 1980's and moving to new media and video in 1988. You can see more of my solo projects at www.fabyc.co.uk.

I am very interested in the mother/daughter relationship and have made a lot of work that engages both with my relationship with my long dead mother and that of being a mother.

I'm interested in history, culture and politics. My work reflects these interests through various media and modes of dissemination. I love to work with other people, work alone, read, make art, talk to artists, listen to ideas, swim in the sea.
