artist's blood on watercolor paper
16 H × 16 W in (40.64 H × 40.64 W cm)
commission for private collection
De-Generate is a drawing commissioned by a private collector for a portfolio of small artworks on paper. The commission was developed through private studio visits and discussions of the portfolio dimensions, curatorial intentions, and material parameters. The drawing is part of a series of hand-drawn lace forms using blood as ink to draw individual threads of doily patterns.

"I can't thank you enough for the beautiful contribution you have made...It's not just a beautiful piece but provocative and thought provoking...I love that it brings your interest in science, biology and the corporal, visceral aspect of our natures...in such a gentle way...entropy and regeneration...this project has brought me more pleasure than I could have imagined when I started it..."
