The title of this work is taken from a quote by Keith Cheng, when asked about his experiments isolating the color gene in zebra fish and the possible repercussions related to race and skin color. This series of prints, meld the language of the circus poster, both verbal and pictorial, with scientific events. The prints represent a visual history of the way animals have been utilized and modified for scientific purposes. Innovations in science are some of the top stories in the news - just yesterday, scientists were creating copies of mammals, today they create new genetically altered animals, and tomorrow the unthinkable will be made real. The form of the circus poster, with its capacity to attract attention and exaggerate reality, displays and highlights today’s scientific curiosities. This set of six 40" X 24" prints on Rives BFK tan measures 80" X 72" when assembled into a billboard. The title has been hand tinted with Acryla Gouache.
