Request on by emailing info@donnaszoke.com
I chose one of the images from my book The Redacted Dark and reproduced it in adhesive vinyl as I found the image poetically apt as an image of the experience of time during the early months of the pandemic. I created an edition of 24 to give away as free mail art for the exhibition Interiors. I hope the recipients will install the vinyl on their interior wall, in a place where one might hang an actual clock. One other version is currently in process: Pandemic Time (free zoom wallpaper). Available soon!
