FROM THE ARTIST'S POEM Ode to Wheels:

“I arrive my wheels, I arrive
with a keen anticipation
to be rescued from the primitive
to our shared configuration
Oh my wheels I am handicapped
until we are one and we fly.”

-Gini

DESCRIPTION:

Creating Freedom is a digitally manipulated version of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel painting, Creating Adam. Gini altered the painting to include a wheelchair and 2 crutches.
In the original painting God floats above on our right. He is an old white man with flowing white hair and beard, surrounded by muscular angels. He is draped in fabric and extends his right arm and hand out towards Adam. To God’s left lies Adam, a young muscular white man dressed in only a fig leaf. He lies on the ground and stretches his left arm out towards God’s hand. Their fingers almost touch.
In Gini’s version of this famous painting, God is seated in a wheelchair with wings on its front wheels and hands Adam a crutch. A second crutch floats conveniently near Adam’s fig leaf.
