The title Envelop(e) is a play on words as the physical piece is an envelope while the idea behind the work takes on the definition of “envelop”. As an artist who is also a mother, it seems that themes surrounding motherhood naturally work into my art. Envelop(e) is the result of works completed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a time when, like many other mothers, I was spending time at home juggling a full-time job while taking care of my children. The envelope in the piece represents a form of shelter or protection, something which was on the forefront of my mind during the pandemic in addition to being an everyday responsibility of a mother. The image was transferred to the envelope by using hand-sanitizer, which seemed appropriate and meaningful to use at the time.
