  Covidian Talismen

  During the pandemic, Still Life Studio in Santa Monica had to shut down. I set up a studio at home and used my ceramic work to cope with the pandemic. The epic quality of a world wide pandemic soon became the theme of the work itself. I wanted archeologists to dig up these vessels a thousand years from now and know what we had gone through. The "Covidian Amphora" tells the story of things we were doing during the pandemic. The "Vaccine Brewpot" was done about a month before the vaccine was available. I was excited and so made a giant sized (14" x 20") brew pot for it. After I got my shot, I made ceramic vials for antibodies as an ode to the antibody dragon searching through our system.

  Ness of Brodgar Dig canceled

  Discovered in 2003, the Ness of Brodgar has been an active archaeological dig site every summer since. This year the dig was canceled due to COVID19 precautions. Being in a low-lying area of Mainland Orkney, the site, like many other sites around the globe, is endangered by sea level changes due to Climate Change.
