Piece 1:  This work in progress is a collage representing the various experiences and changes I've gone through due to the corona virus' impact on my daily life.  I am walking everyday and exploring in the park behing my house – watching sunsets regularly.  These colors have informed my palette for this piece.

Life in general has slowed down.  I am actually enjoying fewer obligations.  I am taking this time to focus on a more meditative experience.  This tapestry depicts this experience.

I am knotting and weaving and concurrently dying the rope with organic dyes from food and drink that we are consuming – for example, red cabbage, red wine and rum.

As I come across new experiences, I document them and consider how I might incorporate them into this piece.  For instance, I met this fellow on a walk and spent some time seeing things from his perspective.

Other inspirations, included my own chickens.  I picked up some of their shedded feathers, and then proceeded to clean the feathers and old snail shells with soapy water, vinegar and witch-hazel.

I then took video of the swirling soap and feathers and shells.  It was mesmerizing.

During my walks I have also come across fallen-branch forts.  I built one of these 'homes' in a figurative isolation.
