‘Recombinant’ Figures
The aluminum Recombinant Figure series repeat body parts upon the figure to explore existential questions of identity. (Recombinant DNA is created artificially. DNA from two or more sources is incorporated into a single recombinant molecule.) Recombinant methods explore existential questions of identity, free of identifiable allegory, suggesting universal human qualities while also remaining open-ended expressions for the viewer to develop a personal dialogue.
