This is a large abstract painting in acrylic and Sharpie on heavy duty 12oz cotton duck canvas. I use high quality Golden Acrylic paints and have recently taken to use a type of Sharpie called "Sharpie Extreme" which claims to be fade resistant but I expect the Sharpie pigment will still fade a bit faster than the acrylic pigment (which should stay vibrant for hundreds of years, thousands if kept out of UV light). I also use a lot of acrylic mediums to increase transparency, extend working life, achieve poured paint effects, and build texture.
The name of this painting comes from something I heard from a podcast and I thought it was appropriate for a painting made during the CoViD quarantine. We are all afraid of getting the virus, of course, but the new CoViD economy has also really dramatically changed the way we interact with goods, media, and each other. You basically never need to, or should, leave your home. If you are reading this from the future, I hope things are better when you are.
