David Hicks⁠ ⁠ How the pandemic has affected my art practice:⁠ During the COVID downtime I looked introspectively into myself and practice. It was in opposition of where I usually turn when confronted with free time. My hands slowed and my mind was allowed to wonder. (does he mean wander?). I took time to rethink and contemplate a new direction.⁠ ⁠ Cabesas:⁠ Cabesas is a questioning of my view of ceramic history and studio practice. The colors of classicism and the subject of self through portraiture. Both of these aspects are elements I attempt to avoid (classical ceramic colors and direct reflections of self) in my regular practice. My questions to myself during self reflection was why? As a maker I tend to answer through my hands and explain with material. This is my response to myself.⁠ ⁠ David Hicks⁠ Cabesas⁠ 2020⁠ Glazed ceramic and steel⁠ ⁠ Courtesy Diane Rosenstein Gallery⁠ ⁠ ©2020 David Hicks⁠ ⁠ View this work and many more at USC Fisher Museum of Art!

Lia Halloran⁠ ⁠ How the pandemic has affected my art practice:⁠ Making art one is constantly reflecting and negotiating the process of creating. During the pandemic, I wrestled with how I could carve (and even maintain) a creative path through such uncertainty and mark the time we were in. I came to deeply appreciate the simplicity of making small drawings that weren’t connected to my past works or driven by deadlines of shows and completions of projects. Stripping down to the bare minimum as time stretched out during this period put me back in touch with how I was a creator as an art student. You just show up and see what happens.⁠ ⁠ A short statement about the included piece:⁠ 'The Sun Burns My Eyes Like Moons' draws from solar eclipse expeditions, carvings on Egyptian temples, and the study of the sun up at Mt. Wilson Observatory at the solar observatory at the turn of the century.⁠ ⁠ Lia Halloran⁠ The Sun Burns My Eyes Like Moons (Prototype)⁠ 2021⁠ Cyanotype from painted negative ink and acrylic on paper⁠ ⁠ Courtesy of the Artist and Luis De Jesus, Los Angeles⁠ ⁠ Copyright Lia Halloran⁠ ⁠ ⁠View this work and many more at USC Fisher Museum of Art!

Mark Steven Greenfield⁠ ⁠ How the pandemic has affected my art practice:⁠ During this time, fraught with racial inequity and such widespread illness, I was reminded that a great deal of peace can be realized through the imitation of spiritual labor, and it served to assuage any anxiety brought about by events and the pandemic.⁠ ⁠ A short statement about included pieces:⁠ When I do this work there is always the suggestion of time travel, and in this case, I found myself reflecting on the historical effects of plagues, physically, socially, and politically. To some degree, this past year has allowed my inner-hermit to express itself and I imagined channeling the spirit of a monk in a cloistered monastery, toiling over some religious icon or manuscript. ⁠ ⁠ Mark Steven Greenfield⁠ St. Moses the Black, aka Abba Moses the Robber⁠ 2020⁠ Gold leaf on acrylic on wood panel⁠ ⁠ Courtesy the artist and William Turner Gallery⁠ ⁠ Copyright Mark Steven Greenfield⁠ ⁠ View this work and many more at USC Fisher Museum of Art!

Pam Douglas⁠ ⁠ How the pandemic has affected my art practice:⁠ In the midst of developing my “Sanctuary” installation about refugees around the world, the pandemic made refugees of us all, in a way, as we felt uprooted from the lives we knew. All my scheduled shows were canceled, but that led me to immerse myself even more deeply in making art, as it grew in metaphorical significance. By 2021 the downtime brought me to an evolution from two to three-dimensional works that were beyond what I had imagined.⁠ ⁠ A short statement about included piece:⁠ Maybe she’s from Syria or wherever rusted wires that once reinforced concrete litter the ground where she must escape. She carries all she owns in a burlap sack on her head and her strong face shows she’s determined to make it through. This is part of my “Sanctuary” installation that honors refugees everywhere, and is also a metaphor for people right here who are without homes and our perseverance in a time of transformation.⁠ ⁠ Pam Douglas⁠ Maybe She's From Syria⁠ 2020⁠ Charcoal, clay, burlap. Rusted wires on raw linen. ⁠ ⁠ Image courtesy of Pam Douglas⁠ ⁠ Copyright Pam Douglas⁠ ⁠ View this work and many more at USC Fisher Museum of Art!
