(that no one asked for)
I sometimes screen print public service announcements in an attempt to maintain my sanity. I started early in the pandemic, going for poster-stapling walks late on Saturday nights with my son in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, and Raleigh, NC, when towns were nearly empty. Originals of many of these are archived by the Special Collections Library at UNC Chapel Hill.

Nov 14, 2020. "Toxic Campus Map". Unlike all the other prints on this page, these were never public-facing. I made an edition of 14 in frustration over COVID spread on college campuses, for a print exchange in a class I co-teach. One is archived in UNC Chapel Hill Sloan Art Library's collection.
Jan 1, 2021. "Hope". These prints were designed to change gradually over months – as the paper faded, the vaccine gradually appeared and the virus disappeared into the background. I made them as the vaccine was just starting to be distributed widely. To me they felt hopeful but required patience, like planting spring bulbs.

Dec 30, 2021. "Remember the Children". COVID cases were just starting to spike again.
Jan 24, 2022. I printed these in frustration together with an art class at Duke University – a reminder as new cases of COVID were really spiking again across the US.
