                                       State Collapse    20x16 inches   Oil on panel

This juried invitational celebrates dynamic work across media by 64 artists of the greater DC region, Inside Outside, Upside Down makes vivid the turmoil, strength, and resiliency of the human spirit in the face of the past year’s global covid-19 pandemic and social upheaval.

My personal artist statement for this piece:

"When the virus came here, it found a country with serious underlying conditions, and it exploited them ruthlessly. Chronic ills—a corrupt political class, a sclerotic bureaucracy, a heartless economy, a divided and distracted public—had gone untreated for years," wrote George Packer for The Atlantic in June of last year. The outbreak of COVID-19 revealed an emperor with no clothes in the United States: a nation whose response to a devastating crisis was more akin to that of a failed state than a superpower. The subject of State Collapse, with heavy-lidded eyes and body curled, is as if rendered immobile beneath the weight of this failure, buried by the helplessness and isolation so many Americans felt throughout the pandemic.
