Aurora Bewicke
Aurora Bewicke is a queer, feminist artist currently splitting time between California and the East Coast, but originally from Upstate New York.
Working in layers, this series weaves together paper, paint, and cloth, reflecting on my experience of (mostly) solitude during two years of the pandemic, hunkered down in my home in Southern California. Layering obscured background texts and images with abstracted scenes of daily life, I seek to highlight the contrast between broader world events and personal, lived experiences. Void of people, these pieces are a meditation on isolation and media echo-chambers, moving from early, indoor confinement, through phases of outdoor activity, and then a return to indoor scenes as infection numbers rose again.
