“The End is the Beginning” was created April 2020. I’ve been ill and indoors alone for a month. I began “seeing” cubes embedded into people. Since my ongoing subject is Joan of Arc, I wondered how she would behave in a pandemic. Joan would behave the way she behaved toward people in her lifetime—with compassion. This piece captures a struggle and a forward movement and when I think of her, I feel ashamed to make any complaint at all. Burned at 19, condemned as a witch and heretic, she was starved, beaten, and chained to her own bed because the guards thought she would “fly away”.
