Guilty for Walking the Dog, 2020-2021
Cotton, copper, digital record of photographic images 60" X 40" x 4"
Daily walks from March 14, 2020 to June 2021 with my dog on the beach near me. Guilty for being in such a beautiful place but then the earth does not know about COVID and keeps to her schedule, spring, summer, fall and winter.

Maybe life is opening up. It is different. Masks and distance and weighing the risks, making work, and of seeing live music are all part of everyday conversations in my head. I knew I could have produced more work. I knew I wanted to explore new ideas. I still do. The third wave of COVID is now happening. I have to keep working. Bringing the piece down. Opening it up. Sitting with it. Nope. In the bag it goes. It is not ready for this world but soon.
