Artist Alexandra Rutsch Brock discussed her series entitled, “Paths of Life” with D. Enrique Ostrzega, Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine and Chair of the Year II Cardiovascular System. She had Patent Ductus Arteriosis surgery in 1973 at the age of four and was strongly impacted by the experience. Spending almost two weeks in the hospital made strong visual memories that she used in the creation of mixed media works on paper and canvas. These artworks combine image and text of her remembrance of the event and how it relates to both past and present experiences.
