Austin History Center Covid-19 File Collection
I documented the early years of the pandemic with paintings and haikus. Here are the paintings that make up the collection of the Austin History Center.
January 6 Insurrection
Covid Deaths in Queens
Tireless masked angel
Full-hearted but supply-less:
"Everything's not fine"
George Floyd's Murder
These deaths be not proud. George Floyd
For murd'rous Amerikkka
Howl their names out loud:
---
George Floyd, Sandra Bland
Eric Garner, Rodney King...
All must take a stand.
Detroit Food Line
Double Pandemic
Plagues poor in Trumplandia
Breadlines burgeoning
RBG
Rest in peace dear Ruth
Deft defender of the truth
We cry for justice
Black Lives Matter
Love marches proudly.
Through city streets with teargas
Young and brave rise up
Michigan State House
Fake virus they rage
No masks, just flags of hatred
Ignoring the dead
Pacifist Clubbed
Arrests and beatings
Of peaceful Black Lives marchers
As cops run amok
Spring Break Padre Island
