Life In Isolation: The Coronavirus... Curtis R. Uebelhor

"Shelter In Place" handmade paper, ceramic letters on plastic cutting grid, 2020. I had paper pulp ready to go for my 6th graders for this grading period. Then...So, I froze most of it for later use, but did a few experiments. I cut the house form in a thin sheet of plastic to serve as the deckle and I cast several house forms. As one week turned into two and going into three, the term Shelter In Place was starting to be mentioned quite frequently in the media. I chose to put it on "The Grid" to symbolize that some structure of civilization needed to endure.
