The Pandemic Time Capsule Series
This work is my creative attempt at recording and processing the pandemic from my perspective.
I started working on these pieces from my home quarantine studio in March 2020, adjusting the size of my usual large-scale pieces to 12 x 12-inch squares after my RiNo studio was temporarily closed due to Denver's stay-at-home order.
I've felt driven to mark this moment.
Painting this new body of work during the pandemic has been one of the most healing and comforting ways to navigate the year. I have noticed a big range of emotions captured within this series through the colors, the marks, and the energy. I guess that's fitting, seeing that this year feels like many wrapped up into one.
In the end, I want each piece in this series of work to be my time capsule in a sense. Because we're living through quite an incredible point in history, and I know the meaning of each painting will evolve and help me make more sense of this time in the future. I've felt driven to mark this moment.
