Hybrid ©1991 70” x 80” oil on canvas

This painting captures the time when there was wind of new scientific roads. Cloning, gene engineering, DNA modification, and all the technology used to transfer and combine different sources of cells, plant or animal, to create something new.  I painted a horse being held immobile in a sling. He seems to have three heads either resulting from an experiment, or denoting terrified movement.

This painting is in the world. 

PROJECT: My history of painting
There is a box slides of my early paintings, works created while I was in my 20s and 30s, that I am scanning and sharing now.
