Shelter in Place

The bodies in this piece were created in response to the isolating experience of simultaneously sheltering the body in lockdown to prevent infection while also sheltering consciousness within the body.

Violence and vulnerability oppose one another. They wrestle with inner wildness, desiring at once to lash out but also to be held.

They express the shock of suddenly being revealed to be a stranger to the self, of being left by loneliness with nowhere to hide from one’s own nature.
