  • The sci-art collaboration with Prof. David Hopkinson has continued after the Invisible Body exhibition (see webpage for details) Wilson and Hopkinson examined the relationships between the invisible genetic codes and the visible familiar facial features in Wilson’s own nuclear family. Their next target was to broaden the scope of their investigation by stretching across the whole pedigree of the living members of Wilson's British-Chinese kindred. Their general objectives were to explore and capture the genetic and the social relationships offered in the appearance of each individual face, using the separate techniques of art and science.

    The project was therefore a collaborative sci-art study of human form. It focuses on the facial appearance of a group of five sisters of mixed ethnic origin and examines their mother and their nine children
