Dead Fly 100 - Covid Fly


Dead Fly 100
The Numbers Increase


The final work in this series is a large painting done with drips of acrylic paint. My daughter and I had just watched a movie about Jackson Pollack and I wanted to try my hand at a large drip painting. The area on my studio floor at the Art Academy of Milton provided the space for this. It was 2021 - still locked down from Covid and every day new infections were being reported - hence the red line going off the scale. The disease is all around us like a swarm of flies but there is a safe space near the middle.
