Punching Bag Project
Trailer Box Gallery, Bethel, Connecticut.
The owner of the gallery mailed each artist a toy punching bag to create art out of. I took the box and cut it up and it became an isolation/pandemic journal. I mailed 50 pieces from April 8 through June 15th, 2020. First just using the packaging then adding in the actual punching bag. The project started out on day 24 of isolation and ended on day 94. I documented the time and mailbox place each piece was mailed from.
