Item description
A photograph of a painting hanging on a white wall. The painting is a collage of images. Starting in the lower right corner there is a seated tan-skinned person with their back to the viewer, wearing a yellow cap and looking up into binoculars. Above them are the words “On All Floors” painted in black. To the left of these words is an image panel of a dark-skinned person standing in a desert village. They are wearing a white hair scarf and a long lime green traditional garment, while holding a long spear that extends outside the boundaries of the panel. Entering the panel from the upper left corner is the backend of a toy rocket ship, being held by a faceless tan-skinned child that is sitting on a white couch. Below the couch, a woman with long brown hair, tan skin, and a flowy white garment poses properly with her eyes closed. She is standing atop a boxy metal machine, which resembles a printer with drawer compartments. Leaves decorate the machine's exterior.

On All Floors

Madison Ritscher

Overall I think during quarantine and this time in COVID-19 we have been able to take a look at all of the hobbies and different things we enjoy and really pursue them. Having this extra time to look at our works and focus on our crafts, which made all of mine for sure possible. I dont think I have enjoyed creating work like this before because in the past I wasn't able to focus on my work and put in time to advance in my pieces; I think the phobia project definitely was able to focus on the fears of the pandemic. I feel like when I was making the piece we were too new to the pandemic but now I feel like this piece definitely shows some of the real parts of COVID like being surrounded by crowds and lots of people.
