Dominant and Context-Specific Control of Endodermal
Organ Allocation by Ptf1a
Spencer Gaffney Willet
Dissertation under the direction of Professor Christopher V.E. Wright
The timing and gene-regulatory logic of organ-fate commitment from within the posterior foregut of the mammalian endoderm is largely unexplored. Transient misexpression of a presumed pancreatic-commitment transcription factor, Ptf1a, in embryonic mouse endoderm (Ptf1aEDD) dramatically expanded the pancreatic gene regulatory network within the foregut. Early-stage Ptf1aEDD rapidly expanded the endogenous endodermal Pdx1-positive domain, and recruited other pancreas-fate-instructive genes, thereby spatially enlarging the potential for pancreatic multipotency. Early Ptf1aEDD converted essentially the entire glandular stomach, rostral duodenum, and extrahepatic biliary system to pancreas. Sliding the Ptf1aEDD expression window through embryogenesis revealed differential temporal competencies for stomach-pancreas respecification. The response to later-stage Ptf1aEDD changed radically towards unipotent, acinar-restricted conversion

Reflections on The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
No full text"Reflections on The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" is creative project by Sheila Gaffney, which was disseminated simultaneously as an exhibition and published written narrative.
Research Process: In this project Gaffney demonstrates publicly the way in which life writing, as part of her methodological proposition “Embodied Dreaming as a sculptural practice informed by an idea in the psychoanalytical writings of Christopher Bollas”, reveals the interpretative approaches that she uses and the considerations she makes in her artistic research. The written element, which Gaffney considers to be a live backstory of her making process, uses particular psychoanalytical ideas of Christopher Bollas as a way to show her insight of the mental activity that is in play in when she is making sculpture. Gaffney also uses Bollas’s ideas within her written narrative to explore the formational learning experience of a sculpture student, in preparation for entering sculpture in Britain, in the English art school, in the period which she studied.
Research Insights: This creative project provides insights into the practice research question that asks: how can sculpture convey what it is like to inhabit a woman’s body as the researcher knows it, which is differently positioned from the masculine contributions to the history of figuration that constitute the European and British sculptural canon from Rodin to the present day?
Dissemination: This work was part of “Thought Positions in Sculpture”, an exhibition created and curated by academic Dr Rowan Bailey at Huddersfield Art Gallery. A one-day symposium also accompanied the exhibition called “Thought Positions: Between Sculpture and the Archive”, which included speakers from Sheffield Hallam University, Leeds Arts University, Henry Moore Institute and the Tate.
The written text has been published and disseminated through the University of Huddersfield, and there is a related video-recorded interview on Vimeo
Me & You
No full textThe output is an exhibition, ‘Me & You’, curated by Gaffney, and featuring the work of Linda Schwab.
Research process: The exhibition is a curated display of material outputs from Gaffney’s artistic research that defines a particular approach in sculptural practice as ‘Embodied Dreaming’. This making approach is informed by the psychoanalytical writings of Christopher Bollas. The artefacts, individually and as a group, demonstrate the traditional sculptural processes of modelling and casting to be pertinent manual techniques for contemporary identity formations that have class, gender and multigenerational ethnicity in their scope. The source material for life modelling was personal family photographs in which Gaffney featured aged 5 or 6 years old, that provided her with a register of classed and gendered subjectivity, situation, place and an internalised knowledge from her lived experience. Gaffney used casting processes to simultaneously predetermine the production and reproduction of objects identified in the photographs. Casting enabled the systematic investigation into the selected entities which both established knowledge of them and produced material conclusions.
Research insights: The exhibition contributes to the histories of sculpture in Britain, a phenomenon that Gaffney argues has no register of identity formation within it. The ‘Embodied Dreaming’ approach embeds the psychic life of the maker within the action of making, bringing together critical and analytical practices with action based, manual processes in a way that has relevance to contemporary identity questions. Gaffney asked questions about how sculpture can convey what it is like to inhabit a woman’s body as she, the researcher, knows it, which is differently positioned from the masculine contributions to the history of figuration that constitute the European and British sculptural canon from Rodin to the present day. Dissemination: The research was disseminated at Dean Clough Galleries, Halifax, 17 February- 20 May 2018
