under the auspices of The Museum of Human Achievement in Austin, Texas.
I am in residence for the month of May 2020. This month, I will
taking you on a journey to visit various museums across the globe.
I
will be appropriating images from their collections
and creating digital works of art that will express my perspective
on being a practicing artist during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Today I am appropriating Edward Hopper's Nighthawks from The Art Institute of Chicago
The painting has come to be a symbol of the Coronavirus pandemic experience.
In a recent article in The Washington Post Magazine,
Sarah Kelly Oehler (chair and curator of American art at The Institute)
says,
“The great story that he would tell was that this was about
imagining what it would be like
in a blacked-out city to come across
this brightly lit diner with people in it,”.
This is my
interpretation of what it is like, in the Coronovirus Pandemic, to come
across this diner.
