Blood Vessels
series of watercolors on paper, dimensions vary, approx 40 x 35 cm
Blood is both life-giving and life-threatening - fluid yet volatile. Blood carries oxygen and sustains life, yet it can also stagnate, thicken, or spread infection. For me, living with multiple bloody conditions means balancing the risk of excessive bleeding or dangerous clotting.
When painting this series I was thinking of both transfusion units (i.e. blood bags) and visceral organs. I used Perylene Maroon and Lunar Black watercolours to suggest the density of blood as well as the Classical concept of the Four Humours.
