Christine Baker Catherine was artist in residence at Clinical Research and Imaging Centre Bristol during 2009/10 doing research into visual acuity. Works with ‘flashbulb memory’ usually associated with trauma, but not in her case? She is interested in perception memory and perceptual memory. There are a number of ways in which the eye moves. Two types of movement are Vestibula Ocular Reflex (VOR) and saccadic. Neurologists are researching how we interpret abstract and representational images. Catherine contacted some of these scientists with the intention of collaborating on some work.
Our pupil has a perceptual movement many times a second (over 300?) a fixated moment is a moment of perception that can be measured and recorded as data. Catherine wanted to use this data to create art.

For another collaboration a plane tree (a symbolic reference to the origins of medicine in Greece) was put through every machine mediated medical scanning technique possible. The resulting images showed a kind of skeletal structure but defined by the limited water content of the tree. It was a little disappointing to see the resulting artwork as installed as a public art work in the hospital, Catherine felt that the work was a justifiable compromise between the images she was aiming for and a work that would enhance the atmosphere in a hospital.
She is now working on a series of images derived from the notion of straight and wonky, using X ray images of spinal distortion and photographs of trees whose trunk has been forced into wonkiness by the environment. A geometrical rigidity is overlaid with precise laser cuts over the surface of the image.
There is an interesting visual resonance within my work in these tree images in the use of wood, an organic material and the potential for its distortion over time. The overlay of geometric shapes is suggestive of imbalance and stability.
