“Rosie, Queen of Corona” Candace Spence’s Contribution to the Lonely Artist Covid Challenge

9 Replies

The challenge to create an art piece about their Coronavirus experience went out to a number of artists. All of us who lived in the Lake Chapala area were given a box of ingredients to start us off. We could use as many of them as we wished and add whatever ingredients we wanted to. To see the original challenge and items each of us received for the Lonely Artist Covid Challenge, go HERE. If you want to joint in on the challenge, send links to your blog or photos of your project to this blog.

Click on the first photo and then the arrows to enlarge photos and read commentary.

This is her completed piece
One of the objects given to everyone was a cardboard catfood box. Candace made hers into a retablo box. Clever.
“Rosie, Queen of Corona”
Someone contributed a number of swatches of different material.. and a bottle full of buttons. Someone else gave us all google eyes. Here’s a closeup of Candace’s clever use of all of these elements.
Hopefully, Candace will tell us why she chose the photos she did.
You’ll notice these wine corks in all of our pieces, as well.
We all also received these joker cards.

To see Candace’s comments about her piece, go HERE. To see other contributions to this project go HERE. I’ll put links to all other contributions there as well, as they come in.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      The straws were very cleverly used. I agree.. and the bottle caps. I actually made seperate little sculptures of the straws but forgot to show them..Or maybe I did in an earlier blog.
