Artist’s Statement:

Sometimes it can be hard to spend time with healthy friends in the ways you used to. In many ways I’m living in a different world now due to my physical and cognitive challenges. In my mind I picture a Venn diagram, with our 2 worlds still overlapping just a little. When I’m sitting with a friend connecting over a coffee, I get a temporary reprieve from my disease. Deep in conversation, our worlds align. It’s probably the one time I can temporarily forget I’m sick.
