installation photos of a series of paintings from "kind in the right stomach," an exhibition following a week-long residency with artist Hannah Songer and with the artist-run Project 1612 in Morton, IL in the late summer of 2023. The title of the exhibition was chosen from "Eggs" by Gertrude Stein in Tender Buttons.

This painting series is a study of insects blending in to their surroundings in the garden during the residency.

iron oxide from a fragmenting railroad,
calcium carbonate and heme from chicken's eggshells,

mixed with cold wax and linseed oil
