This piece was accepted into a curated virtual show
"Touch" at Woman Made Gallery (Chicago),
Juried by Gina Lee Robbin
June 5—30, 2020
https://womanmade.org/artwork/touch-a-virtual-exhibition/

"When coronavirus sent us to the safety of houses and apartments, we were limited to where we could go and what we could touch. We turned to our screens to find ways to connect and share experiences.

This piece swipes up beyond to represent the digital world of cellphones blended with tactile and visual elements that transcend two dimensions and beveled edges.

The show coincided with a cancelled flight to a birding sanctuary and the disappointment in missing a chance to stand in a forest watching birds in flight, freely in congress with other birds.
