Andrew Huot – Remote with Wilson Allen

Artist Statement

Collaboration with Wilson Allen.

Remote looks at the shared experience of self-isolating and working remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic by journaling and mapping our everyday experiences. These daily activities create vignettes or scenes that show how common experiences such as dealing with a fallen tree or power outage, break the monotony of staying in a restricted place like our home.

Materials & Technique

Made of paper, color pencil, graphite, ink, cloth, and board. Bound in a Drum Leaf Binding format.
