12” x 12” mixed media on canvas, from the series Sickness is a Place

SICKNESS IS A PLACE is a series of works completed in 2022 using vintage road maps, cyanotype origami shapes, acrylic paint, glitter, spray paint, gel pens, cotton gauze, medical wrap, prescription sheets, and more. Raised components emerge from the surface to confront the viewer in the torn and re-constructed maps, littered with medical detritus. These mixed-media pieces are meant to illustrate and immerse the viewer in the disorientation and struggle, of chronic illness, while also finding beauty and significance.
