Covid Chronicles. Part 01
An abstract linoleum print, proofed with black ink and carved to reveal details in white. The top portion has a person sitting in a windowed room, holding a chain for an anchor that reaches down to the bottom. Next to the windowed room is a cloud with the figure of a person's airways and lungs filled with white dots coming from the wave of water next to it. The wave overlaps a bar graph. Beside the wave, a plane labeled with the word "patriots" in capital letters flies upwards, and a COVID mask falls from the open plane door. Beneath the top portion is a sea, where a boat moves towards the windowed room with a banner on top of it that reads "help us" in capital letters. The large figure of a person with visible muscle tissue and internal organs swims towards a pulled drain plug. Underneath the scene to the left is a sign that has different recreational activities crossed out with a prohibition symbol. The chain from the anchor held by the person in the top left ties down a large heart filled with different symbols of life. A school bus drives down a road next to the sea, stopped by a barrier. A yellow duck and ducklings in COVID masks stand on paved ground next to the road.
