My work considers ideas about the differences between labor and leisure–two concepts that took on even newer meanings during our months of mandatory quarantine.  My work also explores the relationship between how we choose to spend our time and what that says about what we value.  Again, two concepts that were highlighted repeatedly, and in new ways, during this time.  Both pieces in this show were made as part of my larger body of work that speaks about personal and cultural acts of narcissism, but I selected them for this exhibition because they can also be read effectively through the lens of quarantine motherhood, a time when extreme self-reflection was required for survival.
