My American Drain series explores the world of addiction in the United States and how it is created and maintained through capitalism. After watching loved ones become addicted to prescription pain medication, I felt the urge to create mixed media pieces that used pills and drug paraphernalia as a medium. Frustrated by the medical and pharmaceutical establishment and its role in the opioid crisis, this series explores addiction to addiction and how it is intertwined with the false hope behind The American Dream. Each piece consists of thousands of hand-glued, brightly colored gelatin capsules. What looks like a rippled candied surface from a far, is actually thousands of pills going down a drain. Swirls and ripples of colors create whirlpool patterns along the surface of the canvases. What is an enticing, candy coated surface, is actually a dialogue on our current culture surrounding addiction. Aside from the canvases, sculptures using toilets, sinks, and medicine cabinets, all flooded with drug paraphernalia, this art series creates a juxtaposed environment that is playful and at the same time disturbing.
