Artist Submissions – Jenna Van Buekenhout

It’s difficult to find enough time to work on my art, so I started the first covid lockdown trying to see it as an opportunity. Instead, I found that I couldn’t make any art. I spent two weeks in quarantine playing video games, and then several months returning to making through sewing, but I didn’t make anything that felt meaningful for more than a year. Once I regained some sense of normalcy, my desire to make art returned bearing appreciation and an awareness of my routine, environment, and community.
