Researchers have found that all organisms have very similar genetic codes and that they can be expressed by 64 different elements. My artistic response was to create a chess board (which always have 64 squares) for ceramic micro-organisms to battle for survival. Each chess piece represents perfect three-dimensional forms, such as the tetrahedron and hexahedron. The clean, geometric lines of the pieces are offset by the decadent, dripping squares of the chess board.
