What We Were Left to See... by Michele Brody
June 2, 2021
Works in Paper about living through the pandemic and environmental change
What we were left to see...is an exhibition about looking both forward and back during the time of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The range of handmade paper works on view date from as far back as 2009 when I first started exploring the possibilities of drawing with sprouted seeds and their roots. To the great PAUSE of lockdown when I was inspired to start painting with pigmented pulps to depict the window views we were left to see while sheltering in place. The dominant theme of my second one-person show with JVS Project Space reaches even further back to my early interest in capturing a moment in time within the constant flux and entropy of our Environment.
The exhibition will include the following series of works:
- Drawing Roots: 2009-2017
- Taxonomy of Place: 2018-2021
- What we were left to see...: 2020
- Mapping the Electoral College, 2000-2020: 2019-2021
- Nature in Absentia: 2020-2021
- Reflections in Tea: 2007-2021
