The next edition of Trust Me I'm an Artist will feature Heirloom, a project by Gina Czarnecki. The Heirloom project involves growing “skin portraits” of Czarnecki’s daughters from their own cells on fragile glass casts. When these cell cultures evolve into translucent tissue, they are preserved, removed, and displayed. The heirloom Experiment subverts the notion of the portrait through the actual use of human material from the subject taking the stage and questioning representation itself.
