Any efforts to contain this scourge are “shot down” by the gun lobby. When COVID began killing Americans at a horrifying pace over three years ago, a vaccine was developed in record time. There's No Vaccine for Gun Violence in America portrays the steady increase in gun deaths from 1990 thru 2026 (black stitched x’s represent suicides, red stitched crosshairs homicides). The variegated stitching after 2022 on the timeline depicts statistically based estimates of future yearly increases. Magnified COVID “cells” are incorporated as of 2020, their decreasing density reflecting the numbers of deaths over time. The sad truth is that money and power are valued more than human lives in America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd691cf605f16050e96c34c/fc8b35f9-55b7-421e-bf12-ed9653a3dded/novaccineforgunviolence_1.jpg There's No Vaccine for Gun Violence There's No Vaccine for Gun Violence in America - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd691cf605f16050e96c34c/f8844d29-5433-4cba-a34e-886ad035a81b/novaccineforgunviolence_3.jpg There's No Vaccine for Gun Violence There's No Vaccine for Gun Violence in America - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd691cf605f16050e96c34c/e8d11a4b-5691-4e19-81a3-2351d085c5e0/novaccineforgunviolence_2.jpeg There's No Vaccine for Gun Violence There's No Vaccine for Gun Violence in America - detail https://www.deborahnehmad.com/wind-water-paper daily 0.75 2023-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd691cf605f16050e96c34c/20bba95e-5354-417c-a3f5-092c7d1c175b/Parallel+Currents+1.3+copy.jpg Wind Water Paper Parallel Currents 1.3 - 2022 21.5” x 28” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd691cf605f16050e96c34c/c52e762d-75a7-41de-9c3b-ee7a548fd432/Wind+Water+Paper+Inst.+view.jpg Wind Water Paper - Installation View Contact and Parallel Currents installation view. After working together via zoom on several projects throughout the COVID pandemic, Wisconsin-based book artist and master printer Erin McAdams and I were challenged to create a piece for inclusion in a show entitled “Wind Water Paper” to be exhibited in August 2022. Using water as a vehicle – snow from Wisconsin and seawater from Hawaii – we explored the idea of contact: contact between water and paper, ink and water, press and plate, the two of us in our respective environments, and the two of us in contact with each other. Relying on emerging technology in combination with traditional printmaking techniques, we navigated how our isolation and environment impacted our collaborative creativity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd691cf605f16050e96c34c/f6d2d11f-9bba-4a9b-b7bf-4298e9996747/JRM022.jpg Wind Water Paper - Parallel Currents installation view.
