  • The dynamic interplay of the various components of Epigenesis offers a rich and unique opportunity to reflect on the diverse array of concerns explored at the CDC Environmental Health Laboratory.  As Artemis believes this site, ripe with history and optimism, is a vital component of her work, it is those who interact with this site who enliven and bring meaning to the many layers of knowledge this artwork represents.
