Senescence

Senescence was my contribution to a nearly year-long collaborative project in which artists played a visual version of the game “telephone.” Participants responded to a collaborator’s artwork, one by one, without knowledge of the foregoing works. The entire visual thread was revealed only at the exhibition. Inheriting a painting of twelve roses (one pink), Senescence attempted to engage that flower painting, ideals of beauty (as implied by the scientific text), and the experiences of a year of pandemic.
