Analogies
A computer generated composition on the theme of hair and DNA, with some ideas of flow, waviness, regularity, sublayers, blue-prints, skyscapes, op-art, the spiritual and a hint of a nautical Portsmouth. The two main strands could also represent Southampton and Portsmouth, the two maritime cities that made a joint bid for the 2017 City of Culture and that also contribute to this RMS project. ~James

Inspection from Ponte St. Angelo
Here I was trying to depict the idea of gazing upon different worlds with mankind being under scrutiny from higher spiritual beings. ~James

From above
An analogy of looking through a microscope, or the tip approaching a surface in the case of the AFM. Some features become obvious on closer inspection. ~James

War memorial
A photo-manipulation in the form of a DNA sculpture. Inspired by a war memorial. ~James

Height
Here, I was thinking about the limited use of artificial colour scales used in AFM images to denote relative height. ~James

Complexity
User-assisted, computer-generated image symbolising the often complex form of microscopic images. ~James

Order at Brockenhurst
Another interpretation of order to disorder (left to right) found in nature, exemplified by change in cuticle structure along hair length and DNA damage. Image manipulated from a photo of a seat at Brockenhurst railway station. ~James

Tissue cuticles
Order to disorder (left to right): overlaying tissue papers on canvas providing an analogy to the hair cuticular architecture. ~James

Auto-Mondrian
Playing around with the 'Mondrian App' on Android. These images are auto-generated in the style of some works by Piet Mondrian. The images remind me of the complexity and yet simplicity of many AFM images, such as those of the hair cuticle and DNA, the filled sections possibly being regions of interest/focus. A selection of images that 'caught my eye' in some way (why?) from the random generations are shown in the rest of the JRS5 series. ~James

DNA on stone
Similar to 'DNA on white', but a stone textured background depicting the solid surfaces required to anchor DNA for successful imaging. ~James

DNA on white
A representation of DNA made using the 'Picasso App' on Android. The white background seems quite effective - maybe AFM images of DNA could be displayed in this way? ~James

Identity
This identity themed piece was inspired by what scientists call 'gel shift assays', where vertical bands correspond to the separation of component DNA/proteins in a mixture for identification purposes. Here, different personality characteristics are imagined to make the unique person. ~James

Colour barcode
A variation of 'Barcode', using colour barcodes. The component colours and combination of colours maybe add personality to the 'human code'. Alternatively, the positions and different colors o ~James

Barcode
'Computer-assisted art' investigating the theme of identity, particularly an imaginary depiction of biometric data as human barcodes. The lines were partly inspired by the linear properties of DNA and hair fibres and also by the artwork of Bridget Riley. ~James
