Coven-21 不期而癒2021

In Coven-21 不期而癒2021, the drawings move out of beaker, bottle, box from the pot surface to the gallery wall and floor. In both cases the container or containment is paramount: the drawing contained within the arch, the arch contained within the pot or wall, and the audience surrounding the artwork in the case of the pot, compared to the artwork containing the audience in the case of the walls. The title is a response to Covid-19. The pandemic has led people to convene in the smallest groups. Or, in very few cases like Taiwan, a nation has made a coven, a safe haven of its people, by restricting international travel.
