Plague uses a Geographical Information System to plot spatial data about the spread of the H1N1 pandemic globally. Results from this research are used to define the spread of viruses across the artwork.
 
In these works I use the virus as a metaphor for the spread of ideas through communities, both local and global,
 
It may seem like a ridiculous idea, but the only way to fight the plague is with decency Albert Camus, 1947.
