George works internationally, with a network of partners. He uses symbols and metaphors to create visual narratives. Using archival research, photography and first-hand observation, his art explores the subtle and overt ways that people’s lives and identities are affected by national context and history, myths, and points in time.
His work exists at the intersection of art, politics, geography and culture with the outcomes expressed in 2D, 3D, printed media and film.

It seems Sir Alec Jeffreys’ curiosity with all things science was written in his DNA. Jeffreys’ love of science flourished while he was at school, starting at Luton Grammar and graduating from the University of Oxford.
He moved to the University of Leicester’s Department of Genetics in 1977 and this is where, in 1984, he had his eureka moment, a moment that has forever revolutionised Forensic Science.
He had stumbled upon a method of showing variations between individuals’ DNA – inventing and developing the concept of DNA fingerprinting.
