I am a person living with Type One Diabetes. I wear an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor 24/7. It is my hope to someday live without these. It is my hope, not just for myself, but for the millions of others living with this disease, that we find a cure.

Sugar-Free SimplicitEE

Inspired by: David Seltzer, Sea Salt/Lemon Sage

My piece is in response to David Seltzer’s “Sea Salt/Lemon Sage” painting. I enjoy the simplicity of his work and the visceral nature it exudes. I can taste and smell the sea salt and lemon when viewing it. In my piece, “Sugar-Free SimplicitEE” I chose to use simple shapes and colors, yet tried to convey a similar visceral experience. I am a person living with Type 1 diabetes, so I had at my disposal plenty of sugar free candy. I found the color, combination and placement of the candy and marble slats echoed Seltzer’s piece nicely.
