Artist Lisa Walcott’s mixed-media work in Tight Spots investigates moods and spaces inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic. “A tight spot” refers to a particularly difficult or awkward situation—especially one that is not easy to get out of. Walcott’s work explores this idea through rigorous motion, interconnected gestures, and rendered forms. There are spots being scrubbed, hovering in space, and staining the page.

Tight Spots emerges from disorienting times and embodies trust in the creative process. The pieces acknowledge struggle and also activate negative spaces (physical distance). Come explore the feelings, struggles, and memories of your own COVID-19 experiences through Walcott’s intriguing exhibition.
