#30NewBestFriends

I started the 30 New Best Friends Project while sheltering in place along with the rest of the world during the Covid-19 pandemic. There is a lot to feel sad and anxious about during this time. I found it difficult to get in the studio and create. I wanted to do something that was helpful in some way, but I didn’t know what. I felt frozen. Finally, I decided to just push myself to create one small ceramic wall mask a day for the month of April. I thought it might help me get back to myself and it might inspire other artists to get in their studios too. I put the hashtag #30newbestfriends out there and asked artists and anyone else to create there own new best friend to shelter with and use the tag on Instagram so we can see all the new best friends together and never feel lonely. I know it is only a teeny tiny blip in comparison with what our healthcare and other essential workers are doing for us, but it’s something. Here are my #30NewBestFriends - April 2020. Stay safe, friends.
