Twentieth ArtsWorcester Biennial

A relief painting of a gory wound full of pills and glitter
"The Wound Will Not Heal", November 2022

And now for something completely different: I got into my first ever art show with my gory little chronic illness relief painting “The Wound Will Not Heal”! The painting, pictured above, is made from with paper clay, spackle, acrylic paint, PVA glue, varnish, expired medication, and Unicorn Milk pearlescent topcoat on canvas. It won an honorable mention from ArtsWorcester’s youth committee.

Here I am at the reception. Come see my painting among some amazing work by local artists through July 9, 2023, or check out the art online on the Twentieth ArtsWorcester Biennial page.
