Various Sizes, 2022
7-piece mixed medium, toxic, and deteriorating home decor mosaics using over 10 years of leftover psychiatric medications. A dark comedy, full of contradictions. Privilege of access to resources meets a lack, and the handing down of addiction, generational trauma, neglect, and abuse.
“The pink tiny plates are from a set I inherited from my grandmother, who was a nurse in the 50s. Being on my mother’s husband’s health insurance through Eli Lilly gave me access throughout adolescence, and then sliding scale community resources and Medicaid gave me access to psychiatrists and doctors who prescribed medications to treat bipolar disorder over the last decade.”
