My work deals with otherworldly senses. I have been
focusing over the past year on the influence of working with pediatric
cancer patients. "Kwanisha" is about a 13 year-old girl
who died from cancer during the time that I was working with her about
once a week making art together. This piece deals with the transcendence
of Kwanisha from this world into another. She had a beautiful spirit.
Throughout the process of making this piece, and two others focusing
on Kwanisha, I really developed a method of healing. It was an almost
meditative way to say goodbye. In this way, my own art reflects and
supports the ideas of arts in medicine for myself, and I hope for
those patients that I work with as well.
