Reckoning 1

I created Reckoning 1 in response to the growing number of people who died as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2020, when our nation reached 200,000 deaths, I felt compelled to attempt to reify that unimaginable number and confront it physically. This piece is over six feet tall, yet only totaled 144,000 stitches, each one representing a life lost. In this work I pay tribute to, honor, and memorialize those individuals.
