“I made face masks for my friends and family to use during the
pandemic. I made them from my discarded clothing and my cyanotype prints with my sewing machine. For a week, I completed over 40 pieces. After I sent them out, I continued making more until I had enough to create the large installation. I turned useful face masks to be a kinetic mobile and wall installation. Each mask has a unique different design and pattern. It represents an individual person that lives in our community and is quarantined at home during the pandemic. It is multi-purposed art installation, recycled art and useable face masks for protection.”
