it is a transgenic artwork involving the fusion of human genetic material into the cactus genome. the result is a cactus that expresses human hair.
transgenic crops are part of our landscapes, transgenic animals populate farms. it was imperative for me to work in the medium of genetics. all of a sudden myths, reality and borderlines were here. i'm working with a collaborator, howard boland. we are planning a transplantation project, which includes planting a transgenic in the wild, not as a political work, but to highlight issues and processes by being subtle and violent.
