Perspectives: Inside and Out

"Sabyna Sterrett's Parkinson's series reveals her perspective of the disease. "Dark Celebration" is a piece of many dualities. Areas of carefully drawn dense pattern are fragmented by areas of agitated or thin meandering lines, reflecting the disease's disjointed moments of reason and clarity versus irrationality and confusion. Introduced here and in the rest of the series are miniscule motifs Sterrett calls 'creatures.'  Barely containing the vibrant colors and 'creatures' is a jagged black border. It is a keyhole from which we view the many functions of the brain."
