Sydney Hopkins Artist Statement
2020 – A Year of Living Anxiously... The word anxious, by definition, exhibits an exquisite contrast. Both an extreme uneasiness of the mind or brooding fear of some contingency, and yet is characterized, as well, by ardently or earnestly wishing. This expresses, in one word, 2020. The lockdown and consequent solitude has offered a long-term and intimate encounter with my artwork and inner creative self. The first three projects in my Baker Artist Portfolio, contain many of the pieces completed under the dark clouds of a world pandemic, a society in social unrest, and a US presidential election unlike any other. An emotional time rife with turmoil, grief, the unknown... and hope. May we, was as a world community, find the openness to accept our differences, the kindness and generosity to love, and the wisdom to navigate the way through. Lastly, I thank the nurses and doctors, all first responders and essential workers, and the scientists.
