Kaleidoscope was made as part of a series of wallpaper self-portraits entitled ‘Interior Narcissus’, depicting the artist’s own bodily interior structures as viewed through a microscope. The micrographs were digitally constructed into decorative wallpapers, reminiscent of a past era of interior design when chintz was en vogue; yet they represent the most intimate of bodily flora and fauna, including blood, cheek swabs and cervical smears.

Cellular Wallpaper: Interior Narcissus wallpapers were produced with the assistance of the cytology department at Poole Hospital whilst Artist in Residence in 2000.
