The second of three works created in response to the Terezin Memorial Museum. Details of the exhibition can be found under Good Enough To Eat 3. In this piece, the two mannikins are made of clay, a reference to the legends of Rabbi Loew's Prague Golem, and most stories of the origins of mankind. They are coated in chocolate looking wax.The male figure has a phial of my son's semen embedded in his body cavity, an allusion to the tragedy of the lost generations in the Holocaust. The female figure has a chid's milk teeth buried in the grey clay of her abdomen or womb, and is visible through the crystal that stands proud of her body. My Jewish birth name is written in the lid of the case with semen.
