New Forms

15 works

Made around graduate school in Claremont between 2003 and 2006, when genetic engineering was moving from the laboratory into the grocery store. Organisms that don’t exist, drawn tightly enough to pass for specimen diagrams. Once life can be authored it stops being inheritance and becomes property — new biology that looks natural and gets loose in a world with no plan for it.
