It’s finished! It’s for sale! #ArtSky
A multimedia piece of a Black woman’s body being cared for by two gloved hands (see next image for more alt text) Artist: Eli C. Rice Materials: On canvas: acrylic paint, paper, colored pencil, yarn, embroidery floss, beading cord, glass beads, sandpaper, jewelry wire, labels for critical care medication lines, sterile wrapping, a droplet mask, synthetic braiding hair, ziploc bag, gloss medium, Gorilla Glue Social Media: @eliricechad on Instagram Art Description: At my job in a heart transplant ICU, I bear witness to the haze between life and death, between operating one’s own body and it yielding to the hands of strangers. This piece helped me think about the ways critical care anonymizes, yet exposes, yet uniquely marks a person and subsumes their selfhood into a History of Present Illness. I was also thinking about the Black patients in Chocolate City, more likely to experience poor health and less likely to choose any death except one with full lifesaving measures, and the care workers, fiber craftspeople, and menders of the world, primarily women and those of marginalized genders and often women of color, and the many times we swap one life role for another.
