Reason for Concern

Item

Artist Name
Kristen Vardanega
Title
Reason for Concern
Medium
Gouache and ink on paper
Visual Description
Four pieces of gray-toned paper are arranged in a grid. Each 8x10” page depicts a flat-color illustration of a plant-like structure. Radial dotted lines connect circles containing biologic imagery, numbers, words, and punctuation points. Upon closer inspection, the paper is made of recycled medical bills, junk mail, and pharmaceutical paperwork: fragmented words and letters are visible, but nearly impossible to decipher.
Materials
Gouache, ink, handmade paper: medical bills, printed lab results, consent forms, junk mail.
