An Unexpected Series in Unexpected Times is the chronological artistic representation of the emotional push and pull that their creator, Carol Moffatt, experienced during the first two years of the Global Pandemic. The inception of this body of work came about through her long established daily journaling practice. As early pandemic times unfolded, from days to weeks then months to years, so did her daily entries transition from words and phrases into sketches and illustrations that drew her to create beyond her previous expressions.

This “urgency” to create surfaced through the art of Rug Hooking as she transferred her raw feelings and unchecked emotions from paper to linen and wool. This body of work is a selection of the the early, middle, and later pieces of her Covid driven series. There is a striking evolution reflected in the work as the mood and tones of the times shift from naive optimism to tumultuous uncertainties.

Through this unchecked therapeutic work Carol entered Covid as a Creative and stepped out as an Artist. Her hope is that she will encourage others to tap into their own personal forms of expression and reap the benefits of their discoveries.
