Borland creates sculptural installations that use the language of medical and forensic science to examine the human condition. 'Phantom Twins' consists of two dolls that replicate those used in the eighteenth century to demonstrate childbirth to medical students. Beneath the stretched leather the skulls are visible. The original dolls would have contained real foetal skeletons, while Borland used plastic replica skulls obtained from an osteological supplier. Borland is working with ideas about the creation of life and the frailty of human existence. Borland is interested in Mary Shelley's creation, the doctor-scientist called Frankenstein. The story of Frankenstein contains many intimations of Mary Shelley's grief at the young deaths of her own children.
