All We Have Now, 2020

Digital video with snapchat filter created by my daughters with a program developed by the artist Chris Collins

I made this with my three kids in October 2020, seven months after everything changed here. I was feeling overwhelmed by my responsibility to my kids - to keep them entertained and happy during the pandemic while we were so limited in what they could do or where we could go. They were just about to experience the first - and hopefully only - Halloween in which I had forbidden trick-or-treating. I was dreading it and feeling immense guilt. My sense of responsibility to my kids was at odds with my desire to not be completely enveloped by the mess and chaos in my home, considering the fact that I also couldn’t really go anywhere else to get away from it. I couldn’t get a break from my kids either. This piece was inspired by my anxiety and desperation about the intersection of caregiving and “homemaking” during a global pandemic.
