IN THE VERNACULAR has been accepted to the Holy Moly, 2020 What a Year Exhibition at the Niza Knoll Gallery in Denver Colorado.
I stepped away from my usual style to create this assemblage, a narrative of popular pandemic icons and personal responses to isolation during the 2020 health crisis. This is the first of three panels documenting responses during early to late spring of 2020. Inspiration for this project came from considering how I might recycle the growing stack of delivery boxes while also listening and reading the daily news. Each panel consists of columns of cardboard pieces suspended with copper wire from dowels. The illustrations and words are arranged in loose chronological order. All materials are recycled or repurposed. Media - paint, markers, jute, cardboard, recycled papers, copper and wood.
