A New Leaf Series - Depression
Medium: digital image - archival ink-jet print
Year Produced: 2008
Dimensions in inches (H x W): 16" x 20"
The insect devoured leaf of the Pin Oak may be a strikingly
beautiful object in and of itself, but when the title
"Depression" is matched with the passage "If you suffered from
manic depression in recent years?" the fragility of the strong,
majestic oak, revered for its longevity and brilliant fall foliage,
is exposed. The background passage for A New Leaf -- Depession
comes from Linked by Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, The Thirteenth Link:
The Map of Life. Reading in-between the veins of the diseased
structure the text reveals the significance of image title and
leaf's "affliction", describing future changes in medical
diagnosis and treatment through biochemical networking of the human
cell and genetic mapping.
