Who Gives A Crap about the pandemic?

The time, date, and location of my Covid Chaos! exhibition will be announced soon.

When the Covid pandemic first hit our shores, I found a way to channel the accompanying anxiety positively. As we were all worrying about whether we would have enough toilet paper to last through the lockdowns, the toilet paper brand Who gives a crap? came to the rescue. I even messaged them asking if would they like to sponsor my comedy career. They said they did not do things like that. They loved my art and that I used their colourful toilet wrappers in my Covid spiked pieces.

There are two rhinestoned large pieces and many small inked pieces. One huge acrylic piece and many smaller ones. For my up-and-coming solo exhibition to be announced next week I will add a poem for each different piece. Especially the acrylic and paper collage called. “Red white and Blue the virus still lives in you”. 

At my opening, I will perform my Corona Queen V Stand Up comedy skit. 

During the beginning first eight weeks of the pandemic, I was sitting on my throne and I was horrified that the toilet paper I had bought every fortnight over the first eight weeks had been diminishing in size. Every Aussie asshole was being ripped off that extra swipe. 

I made two crowns out of papier mache from the Financial Review because this newspaper wrote about the pandemic’s effect on the Australian economy. Also toilet rolls made up the crown as under a microscope the virus appears to be a crown. Corona means crown. I used Christmas baubles to really add to the aesthetic of a corona spike. 

I also made a judge’s wig out if toilet rolls. Judge V presiding! 

I found creating art during this difficult period was therapeutic. I recommend art therapy.
