Her art piece, "Hands Off My Genes" (1997), was on display at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. It is a sculpture made of a pair of found blue jeans in the [surrealist](/source/Surrealism) and [dadaist](/source/Dada) style. The jeans have been left open to resemble a woman's legs and abdomen, equipped with protruding porcupine quills in white and blue.[6] Wood referred to porcupine quills in another work titled "Love & Sex" (1995).[7]
