The artist cast the two genital sections of this sculpture over twenty years ago, back in the 90s when he was an art student. From then until 2019 the two pieces had just sat in a box and every year or so something would remind him about them and he'd think ' I must get round to finishing that piece someday'. Well, in 2019 that day finally come around.
The reason that the artist attached '(Basic Model)' to the title of 'Gender Kit' is that he has… been toying with the idea of making an elongated version of the piece that would include genital casts from the many graduations running along the female to male spectrum. Although, knowing how long it took him to get round to finishing this first one, and how hard it might prove in finding suitable volunteers for the casting process, the artist himself admits that he wouldn't hold his breath in waiting for the realisation of 'Gender Kit (Expanded Model)'.
