Chimera

2023 

Crayon stone lithograph on Rives BFK 

9 x 11 inches 

The first piece in my Chimera Series. Here I had focused on using familiar materials from my visual library in order to create a fresh new form. Chimera is obviously an ode to the mythological creature from Greek mythology. It is also representative of chimerism where a donor’s cells mix with a recipient’s DNA during a transplant. My creature consists of a viper, a dog, a dragon’s tail, and my very own hands.
