ARTIST STATEMENT
“Fevered Dreams” is based on the Covid19 pandemic. All of the photography was created in isolation. A photograph is a moment in time: a wedding, a graduation, a family reunion, a baby shower, documentation of a vacation. Covid erased all of that. What was a photo now? Nothing to mark time with. Nothing to remember. So I combined instant photography with long drawn out needlework. It was one way, my way, of coping. I had never been out of work, never collected unemployment, never been locked out of my favorite coffee shops, never been unable to see my friends or pass someone on the street without wondering if they have Covid. I felt like a hothouse flower, locked in a greenhouse for my safety, longing to be outside and free.
