Red Dye No. 40 is a foundational body of work from 2016 exploring intensity of emotion and desire through my allergy to Red Dye No. 40, an artificial food dye used in the US - an allergy to a color. My exploration of red, of a uniting but violent color, a symbol of intense passion and lifeblood, began by wearing only red, black and white for a year.

Red has followed me my whole life, a quality that all my favorite things share. At the same time, it is something toxic, best consumed in small doses.
