						Megan Hildebrandt: Counting Radiation 		 | 	
	| Event Type: |   | Exhibition | 
	| Facility: |   |  | 
	| Presented By: |   | USF Institute for Research in Art | 
	| Description: |   | Megan Hildebrandt: Counting Radiation showcases 19 large-scale, ink and graphite on paper drawings by Hildebrandt that explore her experience battling cancer. Using tally marks, Hildebrandt 
creates a visual meditation on the meaning of time for cancer patients as they endure the seemingly endless waiting required by chemotherapy, CT scans and remission, and adapt to a life redefined by 
numbers (weight loss or gain, blood pressure, treatment hours, radiation exposure).
"I use tally marks to evoke time and memory as landscape," Hildebrandt says. "To repeat a tally mark is to move a step further toward taming my history and future. I am tallying my past and future, 
drawing a desert that shifts perspectives, a landscape that rolls, tumbles, and caves in."
