At the beginning of the pandemic we witnessed the hoarding of toilet paper, and the resulting shortages. This behavior struck me as odd, and I wondered how much do I really need? How much do my partner and I use? So, we began counting and saving the cores. What started as a way to understand and make sense of our own use and needs. Ultimately turned into a device used to record and relate to the pandemic as a shared experience. A way of marking time, and progress. Like the pandemic, I wasn’t sure when this collection would end. As we entered 2021 and news of the vaccine and a new Administration began to offer some hope to us I decided this collection would be photographed when my partner and I were fully vaccinated. The black tape on the shelves mark our first and second vaccination’s.
