Multiples sclerosis is a potentially disabling diseases. The pouring techniques represent the chaotic nature of the disease. The tears gradually increase in size throughout the artworks in order to show the gradual deterioration of the protective coating (myelin sheath) of the nerve fibers. The stitching represents the messages within the central nervous system being altered. I left the frame exposed as it represents the nerve fiber meanwhile the coating gradually deteriorates.

DEMENTIA
My grandfather was recently diagnosed with dementia which I had a hard time coping with. The images below are from a video that displays my grandfather’s brain scans which I slowly liquified. The liquidation shows the gradual loss/ destruction of his memory. The chair in front of the projector represents him watching, trying to look back at what he can’t remember.
