Description |
Single color relief print on toilet paper. Hand printed. Artist: This print is a representation of the COVID-19 virus model. This invisible monster made us redefine ourselves and our society. Terms like "essential" have taken on a new meaning for all of us. With this image, I have tried to reevaluate what the term "paper" means to me as an artist and I have chosen to use the now precious commodity of toilet paper as a substrate for this work of art. I find that having a sense of humor can mask otherwise serious issues and make them more palatable. |
