I will have 4 drawings on view that were created during that very eerie, first month of the pandemic, and by which I found a peaceful moment to draw graphite on paper. Two works feature Pacifica “the Statue of Liberty of the West,” done during a time of crisis. Pacifica was sculpted by artist Ralph Stackpole in 1939 for the Golden Gate International Exposition at Treasure Island. The 80-footer was the theme of the exposition, symbolizing a moment of unity, prosperity, and strength. The drawings themselves do not connect to actual concern with the virus, but I am bringing back a scene about world peace.
