COMMENTS
The title refers to a DNA readout, the letter referring to repeating sequence of amino acids. Underneath the DNA readout, the lemmings seen in other works are at the bottom of the lithograph. Wayne referenced lemmings and their mythical suicidal charge over cliffs to the sea as a metaphor for our environmental predicament and behavior.
