This is a drawing titled ‘Dr. Kalantar, I Presume’, which will be a part of a series of drawings and paintings for an upcoming exhibition. This series are of specialists and those that serve to help make my health better, whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or through the gift of helping to care for my animals.. This is important too, for my emotional state.
The exhibition is planned to be about a year from now (from now, August 2024) but we will see how this pans out. It is planned that this exhibition is to thank and honour those who are in the service for others that are in some way connected medically and emotionally serving in my life. They make my life a better place health wise. I am a fortunate person to have these very kind and caring people around me. This is hoped to also bring about recognition through the exhibition of these people who are often not thanked for their great work. All of these people worked through the tirade of the Covid Era, and they still carry on.
I have been a medical patient since I was 19 years old, and as the years increase, the autoimmune diseases add. Ergo, I am often very busy with specialists.
Having this sort of lifestyle separates me from a real life with friends and social life.
Art and specialists are my lifestyle.
The image here is of the Gastroenterological system. A little man with hands and feet akimbo has his wide mouth open displaying all of his gut. The rest of the art is about night and day, the lives of normal people whose gut systems work well, to those who are feeling the pinch of terror. With this work is the accompanying painting of the doctor specialising in this discipline. Dr. Kalantar stands at the door of the bowel and ponders the important next steps to his procedure. This is right at the ‘bottom’ of the drawing mid centre.
