Disparate works of art form an exhibition that spans the biblical creation story through a series of 7 etchings contrasted by 7 cartoon-like drawings that depict daily life in the death camps of World War II. These two small series are bridged by a portfolio of insect images and are concluded by the poetry of Paul Celan and an artist’s book that offers not only the question of life’s meaning but of its survival.
