Artist's Statement
'Apples and Honey 2020' is both a somber and tongue-in-cheek reflection on the holidays this remarkable year: from disinfecting a honey bear, to video-conferenced family dinners and rituals, to new ways of confirming and making meaning, connection, celebration and loss, holding fast to hope and faith. I made this painting months ago, but Rosh Hashanah has finally come and gone, and we are still disinfecting, zooming, and further investigating what new things these moments mean.
Back in March I was afraid to make the first painting in my Covid19 series, "Sorry I can't come to the phone right now, I'm Lysoling my bananas". Painting these unprecedented domestic moments, illustrating my fears while recognizing there is still beauty in the world, even in lockdown, fear and scarcity, both forces and allows me to accept our present reality, but it is also healing to connect over the ludicrous sensations in these moments.
