The art of isolation: The Story of 2020
I stepped away from my usual style of painting to document and assemble a visual narrative regarding the unfolding news and experiences brought about by the health crisis of 2020. The mounting collection of delivery boxes provided an appropriate alternative to sketchbook paper. With the exception of paint and marker, the media consists of recycled and repurposed materials detailing common experiences produced by isolation. My goal was to represent with simple materials and images the complexity of experiences ranging from toilet paper shortages, our quest to fight boredom and our confusing emotional responses to current events.
