ARTIST STATEMENT
In Standing Tall, five pieces stand alone, but together they create a complete work. During the pandemic, many of us are isolated, but making an effort to sustain our relationships is more important now than ever. Finding ways to support one another in new and creative ways can be challenging, but is essential for our well-being and growth. The new normal that we are looking forward to may not be the same as before the pandemic, but we are hopeful for days where COVID-19 does not dominate the news, gathering with friends and family is not considered high-risk behavior, and planning for the future seems possible again. Standing Tall aspires to stand together as a community even though we may be apart physically. |
