Art

Candy's interest in art was evident from a very early age. She devoted her time not only to drawing and painting, but also to experimenting with mediums such as origami papers, linoleum blocks, wood block, conceptual photography, digital art, sculpture and graphic design.

Her signature work is comprised of three-dozen drawings, paintings, and woodblock prints that celebrate the moment of fertilization of the egg. This is the "The Egg and Sperm Series", completed during the last year of her life (2000-2001). The series offers a vision of the joy of living and the anticipation of (re)birth. This series also foreshadows her suicide. Candy's art is inseparable from her struggle with schizophrenia, inspiring both images of fear and death and images of sperm that are splitting into multiplying entities seeking to fertilize the eggs.
