Joy The Clown

Joy the Clown began with the discovery of an enamel clown in a thrift shop about a year into the pandemic. Covid-19 put the entire city of San Francisco on lock-down that lasted months. Joy was stripped from everyday life in a number of ways. Promenades that were once filled with joyous laughter and people making memories, became desolate of any human activity. Joy the Clown became a mediation on the fragile nature of joy and what life is like when joy is removed from it.
