Scorpio Moons: For Her is an intermedia installation intended to act as a visual meditation and memorial for the artist’s childhood friend who passed in July of 2021 at the age of 31, as well as, a memorial to their girlhood. It was only after she passed that the artist learned they both shared Scorpio Moons. In astrology, the moon sign represents our subconscious, our dreams, and our emotional connections.
The installation includes a print series of a deconstructed book Summer Sisters by Judy Blume, painted with cyanotype, layered with pieces of sea ephemera, 35mm film negatives, 16mm clear film leader painted with moon and star nail polish, and small embroidery of (early 2000s text code, favorite things they shared, and emphasized paragraphs in the book). A few smaller print pieces are included.
