During that time, I wandered around the island and contemplated its history as the first land that the Dutch seized before their beaded bid for Manhattan. How it traded hands between the Dutch, British, and Americans as an increasingly fortified military base. And how in the new millenium it had become a public park with its houses ceded to artists. This seemed an example of remediation, and the possibility that like all living things, narratives have their own lifespans and can nurture new stories while in decay.

objects, carving on found table top 32.5 x 30 x 5 inches I began this series in spring 2021, to reflect an entire year living with the Covid-19 Pandemic. Using wood from city sidewalks, these works depict the degrees of re-opening, with mixes of celebration and reservation. Crises of the environment, racial justice, and inequality long pre-date the pandemic; accordingly, I casts a cold eye on the “good-old-days,” marketed in the re-opening. In repurposing found furniture, the specter of our homes--our quarantine confines--haunts these works in examining consumerism and privilege. In addition to textbook and magazine clippings, these claustrophobic compositions use myI woodblock prints, created from neighborhood sketches, and local plant life. Mounted on found cabinet doors or table-tops, these real-life visions turn domesticity, nature, and comfort inside out. The two largest pieces feature my newborn niece and her father–my brother-in-law. Dazzled by her wonder and growth, I depict this adorable baby as moment of levity and joy. She also bears witness to the chaotic and grim world depicted in the rest of the series. In this way, the newborn reminds us of the stakes of improving the world at hand. https://willkaplanwritingartist.cargo.site/Works-from-Quarantine-2020 Tue, 18 Jan 2022 19:36:05 +0000 Will Kaplan: Writing Artist https://willkaplanwritingartist.cargo.site/Works-from-Quarantine-2020 <img width="1600" height="1195" width_o="1600" height_o="1195" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad7dca04b67eb751605f72100bce10b10d8eea22817b1850aa059ff6d9561be4/KaplanWill_Nightmare-Movie_1600_c.jpeg" data-mid="189775694" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ad7dca04b67eb751605f72100bce10b10d8eea22817b1850aa059ff6d9561be4/KaplanWill_Nightmare-Movie_1600_c.jpeg" /> Nightmare Movie <img width="3285" height="2502" width_o="3285" height_o="2502" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29f6d821351fe536426a9da98b367553bedb30f937b24515c4891240204e3cac/Coded-Quart_2020_Collage--watercolor--drawing_18x24.JPG" data-mid="189775683" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29f6d821351fe536426a9da98b367553bedb30f937b24515c4891240204e3cac/Coded-Quart_2020_Collage--watercolor--drawing_18x24.JPG" /> Coded Court <img width="3211" height="2418" width_o="3211" height_o="2418" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fcb97acdf3cee9748ed00fb0bb454364c6bf74ba756719d0d0525608a0b55595/AtLast_2020_collage-watercolor-drawing_18x24.jpg" data-mid="189775684" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fcb97acdf3cee9748ed00fb0bb454364c6bf74ba756719d0d0525608a0b55595/AtLast_2020_collage-watercolor-drawing_18x24.jpg" /> AtLast <img width="3847" height="2895" width_o="3847" height_o="2895" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8d1858fa87088ac05e382f8d91f73313428e873b62798b5aa182bfcf92607cde/Table-of-Continents_2020_collage--watercolor--collage--drawing--cut-outs_18x24.jpg" data-mid="189775685" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8d1858fa87088ac05e382f8d91f73313428e873b62798b5aa182bfcf92607cde/Table-of-Continents_2020_collage--watercolor--collage--drawing--cut-outs_18x24.jpg" /> Table of Continents <img width="2772" height="3584" width_o="2772" height_o="3584" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bafa4c2259800f7ed6c2f01bf989bf229e28e756dfa57c3c3464511a9845884b/Whirled_2020_collage--watercolor--drawing_24x18.jpg" data-mid="189775686" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bafa4c2259800f7ed6c2f01bf989bf229e28e756dfa57c3c3464511a9845884b/Whirled_2020_collage--watercolor--drawing_24x18.jpg" /> Whirled <img width="2473" height="3243" width_o="2473" height_o="3243" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/985cddb7ceb3aca303dada3946a0fe7b3281115c9de08c01970092aa3fc2d62e/Sinner-Tree_2020_collage--watercolor-drawing_24x18.jpg" data-mid="189775687" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/985cddb7ceb3aca303dada3946a0fe7b3281115c9de08c01970092aa3fc2d62e/Sinner-Tree_2020_collage--watercolor-drawing_24x18.jpg" /> SinnerTree <img width="2729" height="3580" width_o="2729" height_o="3580" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f2551b7dc1ec37ac67d770477264ea7692b6e1f8b9f26caf96d0e7aeb0a7c18/Self-Titled_2020_collage--watercolor--drawing_24x18.jpg" data-mid="189775688" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0f2551b7dc1ec37ac67d770477264ea7692b6e1f8b9f26caf96d0e7aeb0a7c18/Self-Titled_2020_collage--watercolor--drawing_24x18.jpg" /> Self-Titled <img width="2663" height="3509" width_o="2663" height_o="3509" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43989fe09f1f6482ed8998ed6781d21a36be3106a7a6cd98fb1f69babfeac200/ImPosed_woodcut--collage--watercolor--drawing_24x18.jpg" data-mid="189775690" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43989fe09f1f6482ed8998ed6781d21a36be3106a7a6cd98fb1f69babfeac200/ImPosed_woodcut--collage--watercolor--drawing_24x18.jpg" /> ImPosed <img width="2419" height="3210" width_o="2419" height_o="3210" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e7652abb180cd42a1d26d45af2e4950b0c71651469dbf650f35f71b439b75c3d/Post__-2020-collage--watercolor-drawing-_24x18.jpg" data-mid="189775692" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e7652abb180cd42a1d26d45af2e4950b0c71651469dbf650f35f71b439b75c3d/Post__-2020-collage--watercolor-drawing-_24x18.jpg" /> Post__ <img width="3603" height="2767" width_o="3603" height_o="2767" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0158c39bbd93ec55c21501eb504e218146edfdc4bb8d213816c7ee3464885de2/Ground-Swell_2021_collage--woodcut--watercolor--drawing_18x24.jpg" data-mid="189775693" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0158c39bbd93ec55c21501eb504e218146edfdc4bb8d213816c7ee3464885de2/Ground-Swell_2021_collage--woodcut--watercolor--drawing_18x24.jpg" /> Ground'swell I created these works during the height of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. In my apartment, I worked in an 18 x 24 sketchpad. That restriction bred a series of imaginary worlds and inhabitants. Culling from catalogs and mail, I imagined different cosmic realms tied to our own materialistic surroundings. It was both an escape from and a channeling of the anxieties and tumult of the pandemic. All works use collage, watercolor, and drawing. A few pieces feature cut-outs from the paper or woodcut prints. All sizes 18 x 24 (landscape ) or 24 x 18 (portrait) https://willkaplanwritingartist.cargo.site/White-and-Green Tue, 18 Jan 2022 19:35:49 +0000 Will Kaplan: Writing Artist https://willkaplanwritingartist.cargo.site/White-and-Green White and Green (The Tree that he Grew From I Cannot Outgrow) <img width="1218" height="1548" width_o="1218" height_o="1548" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c0b40dcfb9e64be63588c1bfb094f59e16ac9d3d79cc17afb50bbe2660ea44a9/White-and-Green.jpg" data-mid="189775695" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c0b40dcfb9e64be63588c1bfb094f59e16ac9d3d79cc17afb50bbe2660ea44a9/White-and-Green.jpg" /> Acrylic, Collage, Found object and Carving on wooden panel https://willkaplanwritingartist.cargo.site/Deep-Seat-of-Power Thu, 20 Jan 2022 15:37:26 +0000 Will Kaplan: Writing Artist https://willkaplanwritingartist.cargo.site/Deep-Seat-of-Power <img width="5000" height="3026" width_o="5000" height_o="3026" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a03f57c20537446bc4d7682d1b16ace8cb1f0e9dd2362ff32d9244d3563a9d5/Deep-Seat-Of-Power_2021__o.jpg" data-mid="189775696" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a03f57c20537446bc4d7682d1b16ace8cb1f0e9dd2362ff32d9244d3563a9d5/Deep-Seat-Of-Power_2021__o.jpg" /> Deep Seat of Power, 2020 Acrylic, collage, found object and carving on found cabinet door. 23 x 41 inches https://willkaplanwritingartist.cargo.site/Soul-d Thu, 20 Jan 2022 15:37:29 +0000 Will Kaplan: Writing Artist https://willkaplanwritingartist.cargo.site/Soul-d <img width="2820" height="3812" width_o="2820" height_o="3812" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40eff1beb5c7a590655f52abf029e312d1ce3e807b4ae5fe8a659e9aff9a250a/Soul-d_2020_.jpg" data-mid="189775697" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/40eff1beb5c7a590655f52abf029e312d1ce3e807b4ae5fe8a659e9aff9a250a/Soul-d_2020_.jpg" /> Soul’d, 2020 Collage, drawing, linocut, found objects, and carving on found panel, 18.5 x 14 inches
