Social Distance Show

Days before I was to begin hanging my thesis show at the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati, Covid-19 began its quick sweep across the United States, introducing us to social distancing and quarantine.  In this new social environment I presented The Gathered Stitch to an audience of one (myself) for only a few hours, creating an isolation both temporal and physical.  In a warehouse absent other people I hung my textiles and paintings next to cans of spray paint and strewn cardboard.  If you squint you can see the afterimage of a teenage party from the night before, time collapsing.
