Untitled 2
The themes of my creativity during the pandemic were domestic spaces and objects, revisiting unresolved works, and protest. During COVID-19, I spent much of my time when I was not at work producing works at home for my artist-in-residence group exhibition in October of 2020.
I also spent much of the stipends on soil and seeds to grow my own vegetable garden, something that I hadn't been able to do in several years. A couple of my artworks I knew I'd be showing in the art exhibition already involved musical instrument found objects, so I began using musical instrument "dead bodies" left from unresolved projects as planters. The first three images are photographs of a cello dead body that was used as a planter box. Over time, weather broke the cello down, leaving only these photographs as documentation.
