Introduction
I am an artist researching genetically modified corn for a new photographic series. I will be focusing on creating botanical images of leaves as GM crops tend to result in larger leaves and higher yield.

I am focusing on a particular agricultural area within Europe that uses Pioneer seed. Pioneer have built and use one of the largest corn global genetics libraries in the world. Crops are signposted to promote the seed number, all which have been modified for different purposes. For example The controversial 1507 maize is genetically modified to tolerate herbicide based on glufosinate and to produce it’s own pesticide, and has raised concern.
