Waiting
art during quarantine
A lot of life is about waiting. How does this affect who we are? I created this series during the epidemic, mainly at home or at the beach close to my house in Florida where I have spent my quarantine. I screen printed the word ‘waiting’ and my distant family member’s portraits with ash on sand. The wind slowly blew the text and the image away, and set the scene back to its original state. In my other work, I printed on stacked papers, bread, and soap. All are very unstable ephemeral surfaces.

Site specific installation on stacked papers. Some pieces are loose some are attached together to create a feeling of hands reaching out for each other.
The traditional lithography stone is a very sensitive hard limestone. The mining area of the best lithographic limestone found worldwide is in Bavaria. In the age of digital transmission of information, artists are the only people who use lithography stone printing and understands the uniqueness and magical attribute of this stone.

“It was Trout’s fantasy that somebody would be outraged by the footprints. This would give him the opportunity to reply grandly, “What is it that offends you so? I am simply using man’s first printing press. You are reading a bold and universal headline which says, ‘I am here, I am here, I am here.”― Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions
