Our world shrunk during COVID. Like others whose work or schooling moved to their living spaces, many artists turned their focus inward. Some, fearing possible contamination of shared studio spaces or public transportation, moved their creative practice into their homes as well. It was a time of reflection. Relationships between interior and exterior shifted. New perspectives affected artist’s work and lifestyle.
Artwork in this exhibition reflects on the following themes:
– Inside/Out: How did views of the outside world change?
– Support: What new bonds were created? What was isolation like?
– Home: How was your art impacted by your extended stay at home?
– Emotion: Did elements of anxiety, anger, and/or fear creep into new work created at home?
– Safety: Suring these moments of isolation and emotional upheaval, where did you feel safe?
– Sanctuary: Is this a place? A person? An emotional state?
