Last fall UCSF Magazine commissioned me to make two pieces for Mara Grunbaum's article on University of California, San Francisco researchers' efforts to understand long covid, which affects possibly 14 million people in the US.
The first artwork is a backlit woven portrait, composed of three photographs printed on vellum in which the subject is dressed as, respectively, a front-line medical worker, a medical researcher, and a civilian—and seated in front of differently colored backdrops.
The second piece is a Foursquare artwork, composed of four photographs of the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself, sourced from NIAID.
