Jane Prophet
A love of interdisciplinary collaboration
https://www.janeprophet.com/
To a greater or lesser extent the works documented here each owe a debt to conversations and insights gained from rich collaborative partnerships with engineers, medical researchers, surgeons and scientists. In some cases these interdisciplinary collaborations go much deeper and involve partners in the productions of the artworks. My way of thinking, and of seeing the world, has expanded through chance encounters, collaborations and friendships with many such remarkable people.
