3 images, captioned: Emotional, Systemic, & Interpersonal Chronic Illness Art
1st: Cyan shows closed eyes w/ a tear. The figure's side of face, shoulders, & running down one arm are swirling, dripping liquid patterns, turning into droplets falling from the hand. On the other side of the body, & up the legs are more water patterns, turning into a pool of ooze that covers the lower legs & feet. There is a dotted outline of a human figure printed on the manila bookmark, the ooze and eyes with tear are the only rendered pieces of the artwork. In the memo section at the top of the bookmark is "Symptom: grief"
2nd: figure is covered in a sheet with eyes like a sheet ghost. They also wear a respirator face mask. Surrounding them are dozens of laughing & happy people, all with their mouths open in almost grotesque smiles.They're drinking, waving flags, hiking, exercising, talking with each other, eating popcorn, waving. there are small drawings of viruses peppered in amongst the people & objects, which include airplanes, xmas stockings. Hidden amongst this jumble under the feet of the figure is the phrase in quotes "Post-Covid".
3rd: Human is rendered abstractly from a bunch of slightly slanted vertical lines. So many lines, of varying lengths, bearing down on the figure. Or rising up from the figure. Within those lines, starting at the rough mouth-area, & continuing downward are 5 triangular shapes, outlined in a teal ink with gold shimmer, marked with an "s" in reflective ink.
