Chrissy Baucom, The Bomb, 2020, oil on canvas, 40 x 40 inches.

The Bomb is based on a photo I took in Norway of an underwater mine from WW1. I found the shape and color perplexing and humorous.

In the last few months I’ve been increasingly worried about the state of our world. Now that we have officially arrived at the worldwide pandemic known as Covid-19, I’ve strived to make sense of this catastrophic situation... it is with this image that I have found a way to come to terms with the current crisis.”
