Artist Statement: During the pandemic, working in photoshop held no appeal for me. Any artwork I did was mainly collage; there was something comforting about wielding scissors and gluesticks instead of a cursor. Once we were all vaccinated and there seemed like light might be at the end of this particular tunnel, I found an old project I had abandoned a few years ago. Creating images to represent the twelve zodiac signs was a fun way to dive back into the intense layering process of making a digital design in photoshop.
