Megan Hildebrandt: Counting Radiation
Mar 05, 2013 - Sep 15, 2013
Megan Hildebrandt: Counting Radiation showcases 19 large-scale, ink and graphite on paper drawings by Hildebrandt that explore her experience battling cancer. Using tally marks, Hildebrandt creates a visual meditation on the meaning of time for cancer patients as they endure the seemingly endless waiting required by chemotherapy, CT scans and remission, and adapt to a life redefined by numbers (weight loss or gain, blood pressure, treatment hours, radiation exposure). 鈥淚 use tally marks to evoke time and memory as landscape,鈥� Hildebrandt says. 鈥淭o repeat a tally mark is to move a step further toward taming my history and future. I am tallying my past and future, drawing a desert that shifts perspectives, a landscape that rolls, tumbles, and caves in.鈥�
