although the picture is fairly small (on the computer screen), which makes it difficult to see details, the first thought i had was about the mutant gene in Drosophila (fruit fly) that causes legs to grow out of the fly's head instead of antennae.
(i think it's the Antp gene)

here's a link to some explanations and pictures: http://zygote.swarthmore.edu/droso4.html

There is a lovely grotesque feel below the fly coming out of it's casing. Something about that afterbirth like fluid moves me. It makes me feel all warm inside and I don't know why. The subtle colors bring me into the piece. There is a sort of double birth going on and I feel the struggle double or go deeper into a different relm. Trying to burst through the outer layer we are born into.

Ahh yes, I see it now. When you get a chance send me a larger file so I can include it with your piece. That is very important. That gives the piece a whole new meaning that I must mull over for a bit. Thanks Heather.
