The concept of the series XX XY Embroidery was inspired by cross-stitch embroidery - xxxx. However, the old pattern is modified by the incorporation of a (Y) - the symbol of the male sex chromosome, which forms a pair of binary shortcuts with the female sex chromosome (X) - XY and XX.
The drawing shows other combinations: XXX, XXY, YY, offering a more realistic view of the wide variation in chromosomes. From a distance, the drawing remains legible and unchanged, and up close, it offers a vision of a society that is more inclusive and more representative of the differences it contains.
The temporary mural XX XY Bird was created for the MDAC artists’ group exhibition, CruCuitMiam and Other Sharing Spaces. It was then invited to remain on display during artist Silvia Vendramel’s solo exhibition Habiller l'espace Raccourcir les distances.
