New Work: Trying to Stay Safe from Germs #2


Monoprinted textures of construction fences are used to represent how we’re trying to stay safe during the pandemic, similar to how construction sites use construction fences as a barrier to keep people out of danger by blocking off the site. A drop cloth, which can be seen behind the stitched grid of the fabric, represents germs we can not see. Cutting the “holes” in the fence in the top layer of fabric away to see the drop cloth behind it, is a modified reverse appliqué, for lack of a better description. 

Trying to Stay Safe from Germs 2 and is mixed media on stitched fabric that measures 24” x 27.75”.
