Molly Briggs wears the mantle of the scientific investigator, presenting supposed objectivity and cold observation. In the process, she renders the invisible visible, and questions our perceptions of 'truth'. In a variety of media, she constructs fictitious realms that can resemble micro-photographs straight out of Scientific American. Combining collage, etching, cyanotype, and silver gelatin printing with painting, Briggs gives us playful textbook 'illustrations' of life. This incessant experimenter deconstructs the world around us, looking at how things are made (and how they make us). Throughout her work, she addresses meaning and identity, and calls our preconceptions and even veracity itself into question. She draws from fields as diverse as fashion, evolutionary theory and household lighting to present us with a tongue-in-cheek mishmash that is also daintily and exuberantly beautiful.
