DECAMERON SERIES: (2020-23)
My current studio practice, the Decameron series, asks us to consider images of beauty and hope as an antidote
to the current anxiety from a prolonged pandemic isolation. These works reference covid, literature, technology,
and art history in order to express and infuse some optimism into our current pandemic narratives.
