In this month marking various COVID anniversaries, we look back at Sharon Madanes' "Pulse" from #ArtOnTheGrid in 2020. "I work both as a physician and an artist; my paintings explore the rituals, ethics, and aesthetics of medicine. I made 'Pulse' in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and my experiences as a healthcare provider. When humans are veiled with layers of protective gear, moments of touch, regardless of their nature, are charged with heightened intimacy and poetic meaning." As we continue to emerge from the pandemic and also continue to face global challenges, we are grateful to provide a space for reflection, connection, and hope through art.
