ARTIST’S STATEMENT
[…] Those, like myself, whose lives are dependent on medical technology, are forced into the losing end of a consumer-producer relationship wherein the only way to survive—to literally stay alive—is to constantly pay the devastatingly high price of so-called-healthcare. Even those with health insurance pay high prices, often to the end of rationing insulin and supplies to a catastrophic effect: diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), coma, or death. The test strip signs are representative of the greater problem of runaway profiteering while patients continue to suffer. Read more
