“Congratulations! Your submission “Medicalized ” has been accepted to “Exquisite Corpse!”

I am honored to grace their gallery walls with pieces of me. This particular piece has been in my mind for years. I held onto some of my port supplies after finally getting it removed 9 years, 5 months, and a day after being traumatically shoved into my chest around 2 am during a nightmare inpatient stay in the hospital.

Come see it in person at the Opening Reception:

Saturday, October 11th, from 4–8pm

The evening will be filled with eerie delights, including hauntingly insightful Tarot readings by Samela St. Pierre (@3eyed.tiger) and an unforgettable Exquisite Corpse performance by Rhythm and Roots. Join us for a night where the strange, the surreal, and the spectral come alive!

Enter if you dare… On Saturday, October 11th, from 4–8pm, Mosaic Art Collective invites you to the Calling Hours (opening reception) for this year’s Exquisite Corpse.

Exhibition Dates: Oct 6, 2025, 12PM – Nov 3, 2025, 12PM
Mosaic Art Collective Gallery 66 Hanover Street, Suite 201 Manchester.

Artist Statement:

Living with the suicide disease CRPS, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, the most painful disease known to medicine. Locked in the loop of needles, treatments, and badassery survival. Inspired by my port.
