Aqua Art Miami : Phylogeny Contemporary

I have three drawings with Phylogeny Contemporary at Aqua Art Miami, November 30-December 4.  Happening in conjunction with Art Basel, Aqua Art Miami is partnered with the Association of Women Art Dealers and I am thrilled to be a part of it.

In Roman mythology, the Parcae were three sisters who personified childbirth and controlled the fates of both mortals and gods. Nona, whose name translates to “ninth” and represents the ninth month of pregnancy, spun the thread of life, Decima, or “tenth”, measured the thread, and Morta, the goddess of death, cut the thread, signifying the end of the person’s life.

These drawings are inspired by the Parcae and influenced by Victorian memento mori. Diseases such as tuberculosis and scarlet fever were rampant during the 1800s, and Victorian society reacted to the constant presence of death by embracing the Roman phrase memento mori, meaning “remember you will die.” This triptych references the Victorian practice of memorializing loved ones through creating jewelry, wreaths, and ink from the hair of the deceased.
