I painted this series of Écorchés over 4 years. At the time I was in and out of doctor’s offices/hospitals dealing with health issues thinking about art and graphics in these spaces. Everything seemed void of emotion. I needed light or illumination at the time so had to make these. I was reading literature about visuals and the curation of art, hospitals, and healing spaces. I wanted to make work that I felt would be helpful for me to see or others like me in that situation that felt positive and colorful.

I started by always priming my canvas with a shade of pink in a way to queer them and ensure they would stand out next to an academic Écorché. To make something positive in dark times was a task that was not easy, but I have to do these things and follow my heart always. 

Additional production notes/images on my blog.
Hopefully, these notes are helpful but are not necessary for viewing. I don’t mind viewing with or without detail, but felt like if a viewer wants this side of the story they can interact with it in that way if they choose. If you would like to purchase any of these that I still have please email me about this or join my mailing list via my site.
