| UNI-COLORED CHIMERAS
|
Stemming from my interest in the evolution of animal color, each painting in this series combines four distinctly red animal parts (in relative scale) to create a single colored organism. This visual experiment was partly developed during my two year artist residency in the UCLA evolutionary biology Alfaro lab + the UCLA Institute for Society & Genetics. |
