Pandemic

Pandemic
Mixed media
92 cm x 88 cm

This mixed-media artwork tells the story of the artist’s experience and impressions of living through a global Pandemic, especially as it continues to affect our world today and is no longer just an episode from history books. 

From the time that it was first identified, Covid-19 significantly affected everybody’s experience of the world. News media bombarded everyone with images and stories of suffering from different parts of the world. Working predominantly in stitch, the artist captures both visually and symbolically, the reduced sense of space and control she felt during lockdown. The process of sewing enabled the artist to enter a peaceful state of contemplation and reflection during this crazy and troubling moment.
