chutes and ladders

Another college print. I was getting Graves disease at the time and no one could tell me what I was getting yet. Nervewracking. I couldn’t sleep but had to nap during the day, I felt so weak I was exhausted just from standing up to make the print. So the print became about that. The ladder signifies not being able to get to where you used to be. Your prized labrador is no longer alive, yet still playfully wearing a rain slicker hat, out of your reach for comfort. Your legs are tired and not capable of the athletic capacity they used to be capable of. And you wish you could escape it all.
