This October, please come see my recent show of paintings, Beyond Repair, at Galatea Fine Art. I've been continuing my MRI series, related to my father's Alzheimer's disease.

I began the series three years ago as a way to process what was happening to my father. I started out wanting to precisely render my dad’s MRIs at a large scale so I could understand where the disease was in his brain, and to maybe communicate how big this problem felt.

As his illness has progressed, the work and my approach has shifted. In the current exhibit, pieces of my father's hardware collection are attached to the canvas, and completed canvases are torn with structural stretcher bars exposed, showing the invisible and inevitable activity of disease.

Included within the exhibition is a space for visitors to share their own narratives of individuals affected by brain-related illness. Viewers can add their handwritten post-its to a wall to create a communal art piece. This has been an especially meaningful part of previous exhibitions and I am looking forward to it again.

I hope you can make it to the opening, artist talk, or any time the gallery is open. Let me know and I can meet you there.
