AN ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Every morning, I open one of the seven little windows that corresponds to the day of the week from the round plastic container that holds my daily supplements and meds. I have two of them, and every two weeks I count out the doses. Every single time I run out and need to restock the circular pill holders, I am astounded at how quickly the weeks have flown by. Round and round. Week after week. During these days of pandemic, time is out of whack, and so is my understanding of it. Capturing moments, images, and impressions about time was the intention of this collage. As a teenager I used to do a lot of collage, and am only now rediscovering this fun artistic pastime. Visually creating and delving into art are sure-fire solutions to writer’s block.
