The Vesta Incubator, a distorted gaze at human reproduction, comments on the perplexing new situation we have created through medical technology coupled with our perception of the human body. Surveillance and monitoring in medical technology have now become a seemingly everyday necessity. The idea that a human egg can be treated as a commodity is something previous generations have not had to face. I have combined ideas of agriculture, domesticity, and scientific laboratory into the work to raise questions about the body, the product, and how new cultural perceptions will evolve. My work has evolved to become a means of distorting and altering traditional functional objects into commentaries about cultural constructions and how they are evolving with current technology.”L.C.
