Corona Series: Contact Tracing Week 7

I began this series immediately when the ShelterInPlace orders went into effect in March. I process my life experiences through art-making and layer my thoughts and feelings into each piece. As isolation, uncertainty and fear took hold of life - and the wave of human suffering consumed many of us whole, I put it all into each of these pieces - week by week, layer by layer. New terminology has emerged during this pandemic crisis and the term "contact tracing" started to become a household term in early May, at least in my world. Being aware of our paths and overlapping touch of things with others, has become a new way of life for many. Awareness of our hands - and with whom we touch and why has become a socially accepted protocol engaging with people, children and loved ones included. 

The imagery of a globe has become infused in my works since this summer when I was invited to create a public mural. The concept of our connectivity - the overlap and reflection of ourselves onto each other pervades my thoughts and therefore, has become infused into this series. 

Each piece is 24"x24"x2", ink and pigment on wood panel. 

25% of the sale of this piece will go towards SF SkateClub to support their operating costs.
