Notes
⠀
"The ‘Holy Family’ series is a juxtaposition of the factual (the science) and the spiritual (the religion). I’m extremely fascinated with the theories of evolution. I read all of the Darwin books and the Richard Dawkins books, as well as others. As an artist, I’m also interested in religion because art is another form of religion." – Wim Delvoye
