VICKIE BYRON
QUARANTINE
During the Covid quarantine, I used my hands as models to illustrate the challenges and barriers people faced. I painted hands gripping the cables of the kosciuszko Bridge, fists protesting upside-down over Manhattan, hands taking flight over the East River, and disembodied fingers. Symbolism includes Dr. Eckleburg's eyes from the Great Gatsby, neighborhoods under bell jars, vacant rooftops, and numbers.
