The symposium asks: “Are we the product of our genes or our experiences?” and provides a discussion of studies “strongly suggesting that development is not the exclusive product of either nature or nurture but rather of their interaction.” This monotype portrays the apparent resolution of the age-old chicken-egg debate, featuring perhaps the best-known subject of artificial selection. The artist notes: "Chicken and Egg is my way of contemplating any kind of paradox- the
headless chicken being suggestive of a kind of intellectual futility." The symposium suggests that, for the question at hand, the days of futility could be passing. |
