Sculpture Genetique

A scetch by Jacques Lizene for a Genetic Sculpture. It shows a morph between the Walone Cock and the Flamish Lion.
On the left side: the original idea from 1984: a cock with the legs of a lion, the right side shows the ‘remake’ from 1989: a lion with the legs of a cock.
Although I did not know this work at the time, it is a predecessor to the Drapeau-Unicommunautaire-Vlag which I made in 2004.
The scetch can be seen at the exhibition La belgique en scene 1830 – 2005, Symboles, Rituels and Mythes in the Algemeen Archives Générales du Royaume, Rue de Ruysbroeck 8, Brussels, from May 28 until October14, 2005
