SCREENED FOR (National/International Exhibits & Screenings)

Screened For is a series of digital prints that turns fear of the viral, of the microbial, and of impending pandemics, into beauty. With these larger than life self portraits I am wearing medical masks painted with an array of microbial infectious diseases - Ebola, Dengue Fever, West Nile Fever, Cholera, Rabies, Rotavirus, Plague, HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Tuberculosis, SARS, West Nile Virus. With eyes closed or peering out tentatively, I ask the viewer to consider that fear and beauty reside in an uncomfortable dialectic, in this precarious time of contagions, epidemics, and bioterrors.
