These phosphorescent reliefs appropriate the imagery of ecstasy pills. Turn the lights off, and they glow in the dark for hours. Beverly Fishman's works have long utilized iconic pharmaceutical forms as the basis for seemingly abstract compositions that radiate with color. This particular body of work includes pill forms from the street, that exist outside of the corporate pharmaceutical industry but that are perceived by the end users in similar ways. As Fishman states, they “propose that — like our overmedicated population — art, too, chases a chemical sublime.”
