When it became clear early last year that we all needed face protection, I joined a group of mask makers. We made almost a thousand masks and I saved all the leftover threads. Mounted on fabric these remnants became a planet lost in space, or an image of the virus itself. More details about the artist can be found at https://awolfenden.com/.
