Surrender

2021
In these metaphorical triptychs created during the pandemic, Hubby recontextualized cartoons symbolizing three phases she identified with: Surrender (to what we could not control), Cocooning (soul searching through isolation) and Ideas (resulting revelations). A rainbow pencil was her medium of choice, and all-in-one representative of the child-mind - a game changer!
“The pandemic has left an indelible mark and I’m grateful that there are some brighter residuals in its wake. I’ve experienced and witnessed the benefits of people’s soul-searching, restructured societal values and priorities, and an ongoing radical dissolution with that which is no longer working.”
