The Over Medicated Zombie,  Woodcut,  22” X 15”     2008

Here’s my dilemma...I want to die before I have to rely on pills to keep me alive.  I don’t like taking meds and I don’t want to rely on them for anything.  However everyone seems to be on them, I’ve seen people in their 20’s taking more pills than years they’ve lived!  Is it necessary...did your grandfather have to take ritalin to pay attention?  On the other hand, now that I’m teaching, I certainly have had some students that I wished would take their meds!
