Had the best time collaborating on this collective piece for the 2021 Terrain Biennial with my friends from the Artist Group Snacktime. Installed in Oak Park.
“We are a group of artists who came together during the initial lock-down period of the pandemic through an on-line class entitled “Sustaining Your Art Practice'' taught by Lynn Basa and offered at The Hyde Park Art Center. We have continued meeting through Zoom long past the 6-week time period of our class. Keeping in touch has been the paramount reason for our connection, meeting monthly and even giving our group a name, “Snacktime” emphasizing our unity. Keeping in touch with our need to make art, to support one another through uncertain times and ultimately to become a cohesive group of professionals that help one another as we move forward into the post-pandemic world.
Thank you to our amazing designer & fabricator, Steve Meier and his Assistant, Nic Meier”
