Working in isolation meant using available materials, what was on hand in the studio. And with social distancing in mind, how to measure 6 feet and who is the measurer? I made a series of walking sticks. One is a staff. And the plural: staves. Left. Right. Left. Right. But when someone approaches, the vertical pole becomes a horizontal distance marker. Come no closer!
