title: Pillows for the pandemic
Dimensions: Various
2020-ongoing
Description: Pillows for the Pandemic is a series of pillows created during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic to offer small comforts to myself that are within my control. At a time when my mental health has often spiraled, pillows sewn specifically for different sites in my home (in front of the toilet, where I meditate, etc) and different parts of my body (forehead, left foot thumb toe, chest, etc) become reminders to stay soft. As the work continues to unravel, I am interested in thinking about home as an extension of the body, and pillows as pimples: soft, possibly gooey, but always fun and comforting to squish.
