Snapping to the Pause

Snapping to the Pause drags down from the data storing clouds a collage of conversations and images Janita Ryan and Mark Walsh shared during the 2020 lockdowns and state border closures. Ryan found herself locked into Melbourne and Walsh found himself locked out and marooned in Queensland. From pixels to paper, ephemeral chit chat is made real; a documentation of this time made solid.

The work itself measures 1.5 meters by 3 meters.
