commission for private collection

De-Generate is a drawing commissioned by a private collector for a portfolio of small artworks on paper. The commission was developed through private studio visits and discussions of the portfolio dimensions, curatorial intentions, and material parameters. The drawing is part of a series of hand-drawn lace forms using blood as ink to draw individual threads of doily patterns.

thoughts from the collector

"I can't thank you enough for the beautiful contribution you have made...It's not just a beautiful piece but provocative and thought provoking...I love that it brings your interest in science, biology and the corporal, visceral aspect of our natures...in such a gentle way...entropy and regeneration...this project has brought me more pleasure than I could have imagined when I started it..."
