| Description of Item |
For the 2018 Making A Mark® project, I created a vibrant art piece which has in it a little bit of every child who participated. My background is in both art and neurobiology. In my artistic practice, I use saturated colors and organize shapes to explore imagery and concepts from neurobiology. A frequent concept throughout biology is repeated, unique components coming together to form something larger, be it the cells that form our brain of the people that form a community. For Making A Mark, I wanted to take this biological concept in a fun direction that everyone could enjoy. The resulting work is a 4'x4' colorful, interconnected, radiating art piece composed of handprints traced and cut by my wonderful collaborators, the kids! Each piece has the special mark of the child who created it, from the unique shapes and sizes of the hands, to the way they were cut. Without a doubt, the kids were my biggest inspiration for this project. During each of the seven sessions, it was so wonderful to see them light up and simply enjoy making art. Co-creating and forming friendships with the kids was definitely the best part of this summer collaboration. I cannot wait to unveil the final art piece at the Making A Mark exhibition this September. I hope its bright colors, fun shapes and collaborative spirit brings joy to the kids, families and staff at Texas Children's Hospital. Thank you to The Periwinkle Foundation for this very special experience and thank you to all of the kids who were a part of it! Emily Fens |
