Abstract

See Us is a series of paintings based on the interviews and intimate objects brought in by New College of Florida students living with invisible chronic illnesses. Recognizing the current environment in art regarding chronic illness, as well as its history, I investigate ways to represent health in painting. Interviews are used to capture the individual stories of those who suffer with these illnesses today. I hope that by converting the stories I collected into paintings, that they help the viewer recognize the impacts of invisible chronic illness.
