2020 headlines

5/19/2022

0 Comments

 
During the pandemic, our collective lives shifted to a quieter pace. When everyone suddenly had to start working from home, we decided to put my studio out of the house, and set up an office. At that time I signed myself up for a tiny little studio in another part of Utrecht and started trying to process the reality of our new lives. The themes are everything, and largely uncomfortable topics: Wildfires, Corona, & Political divisions. I had originally set out to do one for each month of 2020, but that fell into the soup before the year was out. I sort of lost track of time and did them out of order, but really, who cares? Dates are such arbitrary markers of the passage of time. Although, if you look for it in the titles, you'll find the original idea. Here in photos, may I present to you: The 2020 headlines series.
