LORICA: Body Armor 2022-23
Masks have been a central theme in my work for more than a decade, so when the events of 2020 hit, my lack of a creative response was puzzling. With time came clarity and ideas started rising to the surface. During this unprecedented time, we were under attack not only from the invisible, but also from political extremism, ignorance, intolerance, and even nature. The foundation of our democracy and healthcare system was shaken to the core.
This work is about our current state of vulnerability, the subconscious, and the corners of ourselves, individually and collectively, that exist in darkness.
