Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that as of today, August 04, I sent to Dereck and Zoey the contributions and information of the few members who contacted us, or stated here that they wanted to participate on the Pre-existing Condition Art Show.
If by any reason you miss the call and still want to participate feel free to get in contact directly with Dereck Cruz, he is a member of the group and the community.
Here is the list of members that are participating:
Brigitte: TuFlowers
Karin: (needle caps) and (the test strip pic)
Manny Hernandez: Hope
Alan Creed: “It Takes Heart” …one month of injections
Within a year of diagnosis I made a collage showing a series of peaks and valleys with my used test strips - guess we humans like to create and need release for our pain - it is nice to find a community supporting both needs

This body of work is a collection of Sara Krugman's
aesthetic research on the possibilities of health care technology.
Originally based in sculpture and installation, Krugman is working
towards practical and literal use of these aesthetics. The Aesthetics of Health Care Technology
is a mix of science, artistic research and the artist's personal
exploration of the relationship between human and machine. Krugman's
practice as an artist and designer has merged with her experience living
with Type I diabetes. Her work explores how the physicality and
aesthetics of health care technology affect the emotional and
psychological connection to intimate machines, and further, how that
connection effects our ability to use the highly developed functions of
these machines as well as practice self care. Inspired by Louise
Bourgeois' brutal use of the body's form, Sherry Turkle's understanding
and research of the human-machine relationship and Ray Kurzweil's work
towards humans successful integration with technology, Krugman's work is
geared towards inciting change in health care technology. It is the
artist's hope that this work illuminates the importance of the physical
and emotional relationship between humans and the technology we use to
assist our own bodies.
Hi Tanya! I love your pieces! They are really great. When doing my own artwork I find that many times the process of repetition is cathartic to me too, it works like therapy. I LOVE them!!! Specially the first one on the top.
Tanya, I wanted to invite you to two other places we you can post artwork here in the community, places for Art and Diabetes, when not related to supplies, like your second piece.
Hiya,
I do many artist things (including things for my diabetes), I’ve got an insulin pen holder which is useful. There’s a glimpse of it in my Barclay’s Take One Small Step video(Take One Small Step Video). I’m hoping to win (with public support) so I can develop more things for people to enjoy
Dusty, great video. Thanks for sharing! Wow, you have a complete studio… all kinds of stuff. Very interesting work too.
Do you have pictures of the piece you used the supplies. Please post them here to share with all of us. I was not 100% sure if I was looking at the right one.
