The Hug
2021 6’x2’x2’ 3D printed plastic and epoxy (on Exhibition now downtown Elora, ON)

Since the beginning of COVID-19, many people have been separated from their loved ones; by fear, hospitals, borders and more. This sculpture celebrates the warmth of embrace, recognizing our need for physical touch, and the pain caused by long term physical separation.
