About The Artwork

Mental Health and it’s treatment is the focus of this work. Since being diagnosed with Schizophrenia my work has become a method to talk about my disability through the language of visual art. In this sense, despite my disability, I am able to express myself and be a vital part of society. This cathartic, introspective body of work reflects my own personal struggles with hearing voices, delusions, paranoia and depression. Since consuming pills have evolved into of my daily routine they have become a central focus for many of the works with the intent of opening a dialogue with our larger community. In my work, I coat pills with resin to preserve and protect them-- I use all pink pills in this work to draw attention to the ways in which pharmaceutical company's market medicine to women. Then I arrange them onto resin tinted board to make work that is both painterly and sculptural.

Tina La Porta; 26 September 1967 is an American mixed media artist, photographer, painter, sculptor, printmaker, sound designer, and poet who spent most of her adult life in New York City. Regarded as one of the most enlightened artists of contemporary times, she is known for founding the deep psychological insight movement in sculpture, collage, medication art and for the wide variety of styles that she helped develop and explore. Among her most famous works are the Triptych, From the Edge of Darkness (I Lost Myself), Hand to Mouth, All The Pills In My House, Side Effects, Falloff, Medicine Ball, Happy Pills, Relapse, Split, Speaking to a Voice Unknown (a dramatic portrayal of the torment of mental illness.) Tina demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in her early years, painting and assembling in a naturalistic manner through her childhood and adolescence. During the last decade of the 20th century, her style changed as she perfected different theories, techniques, and ideas. After 9/11, the event motivated La Porta to explore more radical styles, beginning a series of dreamy pieces made with resin coated anti-depressant pills, layering resin, acrylic ink, and spray paint on board. La Porta's work is often categorized into periods. While the names of many of her later periods are debated, the most commonly accepted periods in her work are the Art and Technology Period (1991–2003), and the Assemblage Period (2004–2019), also referred to as the Medications Period. Much of La Porta's work of the late 1900s and early 2000s is in a neo hyper design style, and her work since then, often has characteristics of Postmodernism combining elements of her earlier styles. Exceptionally prolific throughout the course of her creative life, La Porta achieved universal renown for her revolutionary artistic accomplishments, and has become an internationally recognized figure in the art of our times.
