Nationwide Shortage
This work is a sculptural installation created in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. A trip to the grocery store will never be the same. Walking down aisle after aisle of empty shelves is something we have never before experienced. Panic has caused people to buy up supplies in bulk and hoard them, leaving other community members without. If only you could enter a store without wondering, will they have what I need? The food, supplies, toilet paper my family is out of? If only the shelves could stay stocked. What would you but to get you through this crisis? What our country needs, however, is something you can’t find on the store shelves.Tags Student reflections -
Pinwheel happiness
I’ve wanted to share some joy and love in my neighborhood. But I wasn’t sure how. A few weeks ago, I had the idea to put some pinwheels out in front of my house. After hearing how much kids liked them, I decided to purchase some to give away. So this went out on the fence around my front yard. Within the first hour of putting out the vase of pinwheels, three different families came by and took pinwheels home with them. And I still have plenty more. Hang in there, friends! Spread beauty and joy from where you are! (But please don't take my vase!) -
