Description: Picture of Erica Lord's bead artwork Multiple Myeloma Burden Strap, DNA/RNA Microarray Analysis (2022) at the Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., in 2023. A wide, flat artwork made of glass beads attached together with wire sits in a vitrine. The central portion of the work is made of tightly packed red, white, and blue beads of various shades arranged in a long rectangle like a sash or scarf, creating a checkerboard pattern of differing hues of beads that resembles the patterns seen in a DNA profile. Red beads predominate on the far left and far right of the work, while the center is mainly blue and white. Long strands of beads emanate from the sides and bottom of the work, creating a fringe that is longest in the center.
