Hi there. And welcome back….to our collective hellish nightmare!
It’s amazing to think back to all the crap we people have endured through a global pandemic and really, all the craziness we're enduring NOW. But looking at these two pieces recently I thought, “Well, maybe these weirdos came out in some sort of a mildly interesting way.” So I'll show them for THAT reason, but I certainly don't think they're particularly good. They're more of a "hmmmmm......"
They’re both 24” x 30” on pieces of masonite that I had hanging around in the basement. I wiped off the cobwebs, the end result looks pretty sloppy, and the pictures aren’t great. But I suppose if I didn’t believe I was heading toward imminent death, I would have been more of my usual fuss-budgetey self. Ugh. That time caused such an internal state of never-ending panic that the only way I knew to “soothe” myself was to keep making stuff. Anything! Had to get all the nervous frenzy out of my system...
This is LOCKDOWN.
I’m not sure why I decided to “weave” black elastic through the border (in third pic), but maybe I felt I REALLY needed to use a power drill and make many little holes. And I suppose all those spots are supposed to represent the Covid cooties. Haha.
This is BREATH.
I used tee-shirt fabric, leftover from my first homemade mask, as a border. I’ve forgotten how I got it to stick on there, but I DO remember I liked making little tissue paper masks for all the 2D people. Obviously, they needed Covid protection, too.
Thanks for walking down memory lane with me.
Such good times they were.
NOT.
