DEVELOP-my second series of 2020-came about in response to quarantining, racial injustice, and the conclusion of a nine month long struggle with “a very atypical case of pneumonia that appeared unaffected by normal treatments.”
Inspired by the cloudy, ghost-like quality of chest x-rays and film negatives, I painted these pieces with a process I’d never utilized before: water coloring with white and metallic inks onto black paper. This created a visual effect that I felt perfectly captured the range of feelings I was experiencing at that time- a mix of hope, confusion, gratitude, and fear.
The fifteen piece collection is sold out, but you can still see the entire series under the PORTFOLIO tab on my website.
