These paintings are part of a series titled Inside World, The Quarantine Chronicles. In 2020 I participated in a collaborative project where I was paired (remotely) with photographer Jessica Chappe. The collaboration went as follows: Jessica sent me a photograph to which I responded with a painting which I emailed her. She in turn responded to a photograph and sent it to me and so forth. The images we produced first started as a visual response to color and pattern. It quickly became clear that it reflected our inner world, the comfort we found in nature, and the isolation we were experiencing during the pandemic, thus the title Inside World. These larger works are based on the small paintings I created during the collaboration.
