26.12.05

$8,500.00


26.12.05 was made when I was

pregnant with my boy Neil.

I took the genetic tests of me and his dad,

and created one chromosome of mine

and one from his father.

During the process,

it occurred to me that I was

actually making 2 things:

the genetic baggage of my future son

and an artwork about a crumbling marriage.

When I look at those squares,

I see a couple in bed.

back to back.

Hugging.

getting smaller.

Falling apart.

Until at the end,

like in the last 2 chromosomes,

they are no longer a couple.

In my case,

it was a work that was a prophecy

of what the future held;

by the time my boy was 2 years old

and his sister was 2 months old,

my marriage was over.
