I created a floor-based installation of “concrete photos” for this group show as a continuation of my series 6 Feet Apart. I led the first exchange BAPC did with Samurai Foto in 2018 in Yokohama (my first show in Japan!) and we’ve been trying ever since to find a way to host the group here in the Bay Area. After many COVID-related delays, we are so excited to have this show at the beautiful art center in Ross.

I will have one image from my series 6 Feet Apart. This is a new exploration taking these images of sidewalk COVID marks and transforming them into unique objects. I call these Artifacts: they are prints of my images that were placed on the sidewalk outdoors for a month or two during my exhibition in March 2023. The images became faded, scratched, stained, and torn. Now they are framed: protecting and commemorating the time they represent. They were captured from the sidewalk, put back on the sidewalk and then removed again — making a full circle.  They stand as a metaphor for the pandemic and how it has changed us.
