- Large color photograph depicting a grouping of eight boys in a triangular horizontal arrangement parallel to the picture plane wearing navy blue hooded coats. Figures are grouped around a large boulder in a wooded area feasting on sliced white “Wonder” bread.
- Subject Matter
- Grouping of eight seemingly young boys arranged in a horizontal frieze wearing what is indicative of Catholic school boy hooded coats or uniforms. In a wooded area grouped around a large boulder feasting on sliced white “Wonder” bread. Each figure is an image of the artist, who “cloned” himself by using Photoshop to digitally manipulate the image.
- While hinting at the past and early Freudian developmental stages of youth, "Last Supper" also references new medical breakthroughs in gene cloning with biting cynicism and humor.
