"Be Afraid," original collage, 20" x 16"

There's so much fear and uncertainty right now. Fear about the virus. Fear about the food supply. Fear about the economy and our jobs. Fear about the future. Lots of stress and anxiety about what's going to happen and how to get through this time. The "Surviving Lockdown" collages were created in response to the experience of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. Before the pandemic, I was creating large, flowing abstract paintings. With lockdown, my world suddenly shrunk, and I felt like I wanted to work small. I had a large collection of old magazines, and decided to use them for collage. I layered images to make abstract designs that documented my observations and feelings about the coronavirus crisis. Sustainability is an important part of my artistic practice, and each one-of-a-kind collage is created using images and text cut from discarded magazines. I also incorporate other mediums including enamel paint, tulle netting, colored pencil and graphite.
