ARTIST STATEMENT

How connected are humans to each other? Some are closer than others but we experienced both the negative and the positive effects of ‘contact’ during the heights of the pandemic. I choose to keep close the connections we did hold onto, those who cared for the ill, those who could not live without each other and those who kept working to keep loved ones healthy.
