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.
