My family began 2020 hoping we would all be free of health concerns for a while, after my son received a new kidney in October 2019, and I donated my left kidney in December.

While I worry about everyone getting sick, I especially worry about my son who lives in Seattle, and Ruth, the recipient of my kidney who lives in Wisconsin, and all kidney recipients who are  immunocompromised.

This painting was created with collaged acrylic skins of a photo of Covid-19 that are collaged on stiffened monoprinted fabric that is machine stitched with black. The red stitched line represents the scar of most recipients, which often are horizontal a little below the panty line.
