Agata, acrylic on linen, 2020
Source image: “Illustration of Agata Lapieruz who lost her nose, upper lip, and bottom half of eyelids after being afflicted by ‘reddish patches covered with tiny blisters that soon dry up and flake off’. Rapidly changing form and location, the sores eventually formed crusts and attacked the soft flesh of the face.”
From the National Library of Medicine archives. Labeled as syphilis.
I have lost myself, so to say. Acrylic on linen, 2019. Based on a 1906 photograph of Auguste Deter, the first person to be diagnosed with Alzheimers.

Some Good My Gentle Master for God’s Sake, acrylic on canvas, 2019
Source: Three skulls showing the effects of leprosy (middle images). Title references the text above a medieval illumination of a leper holding a bell (bottom image).
Lepers weren’t stigmatized in medieval Europe, and in fact were held in high regard. Their suffering on earth guaranteed them a place in heaven without having to spend time in purgatory first. The reason they were pictured with bells was because the disease affected the vocal chords which made speaking difficult. The bell was used for communication, not as a warning.
Work in progress. Acrylic and charcoal on canvas. 16x20”.

“Among chronic diseases, Syphilis is the one of greatest frequency and highest importance. Few physicians are incompetent to treat the disease successfully when its nature is apparent, but there are many who are unfamiliar with its most characteristic forms. The surest diagnosis is that which is based solely unpon observation; and it can be safely asserted that of the numerous and varied symptoms of Syphilis, there are none which point so unerringly to a specific origin as do its cutaneous lesions.” - George Henry Fox, Photographic Illustrations of Cutaneous Syphilis. 1881.

Images of Henry Bedson and Janet Parker. Parker was the last person to contract smallpox and the poor safety practices of Bedson’s smallpox lab were responsible for her catching the disease. Bedson committed suicide shortly before Janet died.

Well that was certainly time consuming.
Cleared 2/3 of my blog after it was all flagged as adult content. One image was deemed too filthy for visual consumption though, a 19th century picture of a man with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Betcha’ you were all jackin’ it to that.
