Crisper started as a shower thought of a bird and lizard sharing one eye. I painted that idea that weekend, and didn’t know what it needed but I knew it wasn’t done. So I set it aside in a place where I could see it every day and a year later I felt called to work on it again. the background is full of neurons firing, linked together like a game of telephone its never the same in the end as it was in the beginning. Much like crisper the gene editing technology that allows man to play god with our own DNA. When finished I built a custom frame for this piece. I wanted to give it an industrial feel, commenting on crispers industrial approach to a natural process. for most of human history we evolved to the environment we lived in. After the invention of technology/ the industrial revolution we began to evolve our environment to us. Crisper being a technology that will be responsible for the next evolution of human. Humans designed by humans. Eliminating the randomness of creation that seems to work perfectly. One has to wonder what the result will be of non random creation. Might it throw off the natural way the world works simultaneously creating a random chain reaction of events. No matter how much we try to intervene in life and create a perfect existence life has a way of staying random.
