... how intertwined and symbiotic illness, life and death is.
In response to my brother being diagnosis with cancer I began to research into the science behind the illness. The resulting work explored the biological imperatives of living organisms; how cancer cells behave, the causes of cancer and the impact it has on the body.
I began to reflect upon the impact ones lifestyle may have on the illness and how stress and diet may contribute to its development. It became apparent how important it is for organs to be functioning well and how the environment can impact the health of an individual.
The sculptural form represents an abnormal life-form – a cancer cell as it replicates; the blood red; the plasma white. This commingling other-worldly form reflects how intertwined and symbiotic illness, life and death is.
The title Hours is a rumination that reflects on the time we have left in this world, as I sat by his bedside I did not know how many hours my brother had left before he would pass away.
