Covid Colony

Metal ants, clay, papier-mâché/decoupage, glass (eyes)
8 x 4 x 4 inches (each ant).

These are the first artworks I have created during the pandemic. I did them early on, and they soldier on
for what lay ahead: Warrior ants with the printed patterns and coloration of endangered cats. Here I am
using fantasy to lighten up a serious situation. I was limited to using materials that I had available to me
already.
As the pandemic became more serious and frightening, I moved on to paintings.
