Quarantine Series: Day 30 - 4/13/2020 Collage

“Day 30 - 4/13/2020” And so it ends. When I started this 30 Day Art Quarantine, I saw it as a duel opportunity to keep myself busy during the COVID 19 crisis and create an inventory of smaller, more accessible works for the public. What I didn’t anticipate is the emotional release and roller coaster I’ve gone through. It’s been 30 days of anxiety, pain, hope and indifference. I thought by today I would be out of quarantine but unexpectedly, that is not to be. I foresee much longer in isolation. We are living history. A milestone to be discussed for decades, no centuries to come. And I did my little part in history by chronicling the first 30 days of my isolation. I’m not sure how I will proceed with the remaining days. I know I will continue creating larger works, exploring new forms & ideas but what if 30 days becomes 90? What if it becomes 180?? Well. If that happens I’ll probably do something. Not sure what that will be but I will go after with my whole soul. Thank you and goodnight. RONIM Art Studio, Harlem, NYC.
