"The Pandemic Process": Acquiring Active Immunity through Art
Oommen, Ansel
Art Education, v74 n1 p8-14 2021
Ansel Oommen, a medical technologist in New York, at the beginning of the pandemic, was sometimes working alone processing hundreds of samples from all five boroughs, Westchester, and the lower Hudson Valley. After 20 nights of physical and psychological fatigue, he just knew that he had to process his circumstances through art. This would not be his first time. As a child trauma survivor, he had already spent 2 decades evolving his creative instinct as a means of finding meaning. Since some options were closed to him, he decided to work with biohazard labels and use them to create collages. In this article, he describes the collages he created during this period.
