Unlocked Grid
A print with watercolor on handmade white paper. Throughout the piece, horizontal and vertical gray lines intersect and overlap like a street map. Entangling all through the paper is a yellow print, resembling that of a string overlapping itself to create organic shapes. Small red marks are spread out, marking places on the page.

The urban subject matter is a primary concern in my studio practice. The lack of city traffic indicated on digital maps was evocative and haunting; I wanted to document this aspect of the pandemic.The sudden lack of city vitality was a striking, saddening hallmark of pandemic conditions. --Label design by exhibit curator Nancy DeJoy.
