AIDS Forms the Tally

2008

Every 13 seconds someone dies of AIDS in Africa, and every 9 seconds someone is infected. The continent has changed dramatically over the 27 years that I have created AIDS-related work-the death toll keeps rising, and within 10 years, statistics predict that the oldest people in Africa will be in their late-twenties.

AIDS Forms the Tally is a portfolio of three etchings that addresses this issue. The imagery is influenced by my original artworks titled Rising from the Sea of Blood and The Staff of Apollo. This body of work concentrates on the staggering numbers of dead and dying.

I'm a 950 but Want to be 1000

2003

This portfolio of etchings stems from a series of four original drawings that I completed in the 1980's. It reflects the self-doubt we experience when trying to accomplish too much, career, business, a relationship and motherhood. I felt out of sync with the world and realized that being consumed by work; I had been neglecting my husband and son. I was living an unbalanced life.
