| An experimental outlier in the Genomic Works sequence,
Holly Woodlawn shifts both material and mood. Rendered on canvas over board rather than stretched canvas, the piece feels denser, more grounded. There’s no portrait, no Tarot—just the genomic field itself, stripped of figure and fate.
The vertical bands carry the system’s chromatic and symbolic logic forward, but the tone is different. The work doesn’t narrate—it performs.
Holly Woodlawn becomes a kind of act within the genome: theatrical, coded, and unapologetically constructed. It’s identity as fabrication, inheritance as remix, and the beauty of systems that refuse to behave.
