Anne-Mie Melis is a visual artist who works with plants and their role in an increasingly technology-infiltrated world. She works with images gleaned from plant geneticists and from historical botanical sources, and much of her work focuses on those plants, which are hybrids or genetically engineered. As such, plants and flowers, traditional icons of beauty, are dissected and reassembled to create virtual organisms. Her work focuses on flower and plant reproduction and raises questions about the engineering of nature, and possibly about human sexuality and reproduction, in a new world. Her playful and disturbing work falls somewhere between science and art, between natural creation and interference. Anne-Mie investigates a future world with engineered organisms. Her two and three-dimensional artwork explores scientific, environmental and ethical issues in an unbiased fashion.
