New Work: Chain of 6 and Counting

My understanding is that it started with an altruistic kidney donor at the University of Washington Hospital in Seattle sometime in the early fall of 2019. The donor for the recipient donated their kidney to my son in October, and I, as my son’s indirect donor, donated my kidney, in Seattle in December, to a woman named Ruth in Wisconsin. As of February 2020, I have not heard if and when Ruth’s indirect donor had their surgery. If I do hear, I will either update this painting or create a second one.

Chain of 6 and Counting is mixed media on stiffened fabric, and it measures 17.25” x 14.25”.
