Special Guest:   Gail Fischer

Topic:   Images of Hope in the time of COVID-19

Note: Until further notice, our meetings will be via Zoom.

We have a special guest speaker, Gail Fischer, for our July 27 Education Night. She will be talking about her recent project “Images of Hope in the time of COVID-19”. 

Images of Hope is a series of ‘electric flowers’ created in my home for 90 plus days, while practicing social distancing measures here in Massachusetts. Each day, using pen lights,
plastic tubes, plexiglass shapes, color gels, glass vases and flashlights, I created flowers and spirals in complete darkness. The collection’s main goal was to reach those working on the front lines combating the virus. I printed several images and made greeting cards as an end product. The cards were taken to the Brigham’s ER staff. Many other cards were sent to friends and relatives.  I will be giving a talk about how the idea transpired, and how you can make  ‘electric flowers’ like these on your own.

Attached find an example of one of these ‘electric flowers’ images. 

If you are new to the group or have any questions, please let me know. We look forward to seeing you.
