Nassau 42 Fine Art

Circle of Life I  (part of a triptych) a Circo of a Human Genome. 50-50-6 cm. Mixed Media: handmade clay tiles, 23.75 cr. gold-plate, acrylic, museum quality plexiglass

Inspired Prof. Dr. Ir. Wim van Criekinge, Professor in Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics at Ghent University within the faculty of Bioscience Engineering. I created a wall relief inspired by a circa of a Human Genome. The human genome is comprised of 22 pairs of chromosomes 1-22 and the pair of sex chromosomes X,Y. Inspired by a Circo Plot of 3 genomes; father, mother , child. The golden tiles/strips represent genes or important traits. From inside out: the first circle represents the mother, the child is the second circle and the father the third. If there is a colored line in all 3, the child has inherited the specific trait from both father and mother. If the first and second circle is in colour, the child has inherited the trait from the mother. In case the second and the third circle is in colour the child has inherited the trait from the father. The tiles / stripes in the fourth circle represent the 22 chromosomes, the X and Y.
