Beckie’s sculpture “Overwhelmed: The Artist in Quarantine Cleans Out Her Office” has been selected for exhibition at the D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, MA. The exhibition is titled This Is Us: Regional Portraiture Today. It exhibition runs February 6–May 2, 2021
Below is the statement about the work that was included with the submission.
This piece grew out of years of taxes that needed shredding following an early-quarantine attic purge. The chaos of paper piles echoed the cluttered weight of my anxious thoughts. Even before COVID I was overwhelmed by the paperwork of modern life. The portrait put my angst, and papers, to good use.
