These pieces began in the summer of 2019. I continued working on this series in 2020 as I spent a lot of time inside thinking about the outside.
When I heard Quiet City, we had recently gone into shelter in place. The song evoked a sense of longing. Nostalgia and hope hit me all at once. My memories are highly spatial and perhaps my imagination of the future is too. So I intended to create a sense of the collisions of past, future, internal and external sight and feel in this collaborative piece.
