Subject: Chet Baker
Historical reference: In 1966, Baker was severely beaten during a drug-related incident, losing teeth and damaging his ability to play trumpet.
Description: The print portrays Baker attempting to play despite visible struggle, focusing on bodily loss, adaptation, and persistence.
Subject: Miles Davis
Historical reference: In the early 1950s, Miles Davis withdrew from heroin on his father's farm in Illinois without medical assistance.
Description: The print depicts Davis laid out on the ground, his body shaking, surrounded by distorted musical forms. The imagery emphasizes isolation, physical suffering, and the breaking point that can precede change.
Subject: Bill Evans
Historical reference: During periods of heroin addiction in the late 1950s and 1960s, Evans injected into his hands, causing swelling that affected his playing.
Description: The work exaggerates the pianist's fingers against the keyboard, emphasizing physical distortion and the way addiction can reshape artistic practice.
Subject: Billie Holiday
Historical reference: In 1959, Holiday was arrested while hospitalized and dying, with police supervision during her final days.
Description: The image confines Holiday to a hospital bed while authority figures linger in the background. It highlights the loss of dignity and control imposed on her even at the end of her life.
Subject: Charlie Parker
Historical reference: During the 1946 recording session for “Lover Man,” Parker was reportedly so physically impaired that he needed support to perform.
Description: The print shows Parker slumped over, barely supported, yet still reaching toward the microphone. It explores the tension between public expectation and physical collapse.
Subject: John Coltrane
Historical reference: In 1957, Coltrane quit heroin abruptly and underwent a profound spiritual transformation that reshaped his life and music.
Description: The image shows Coltrane curled in pain while looking toward a glowing musical form. It occupies the space between suffering, recovery, and spiritual awakening.
Linocut on Stonehenge paper • Composition: 9 × 12 in. • Sheet: 11 × 15 in.
What began as a dream I had on Inauguration Night became a mission to find my voice within the political and social climate of that moment. Looking back, I still consider The Star to be one of my strongest works. It marked an important turning point in my development as an artist and in my understanding of how art can respond to the world around us.
