This Series began after six months of quarantine due to the Covid 19 pandemic. I often check-in with my (out of state) parents; they are both retired and generally have kept themselves busy during this difficult time. I asked what they are doing for fun....My Dad said a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle was his vice of the week. I start thinking of puzzle pieces-- how they are connected and how each piece has a purpose to complete a picture. What is my purpose during this pandemic? To make art that points to something beyond ourselves, beyond isolation, beyond pandemics.

Oi Fortin is a multimedia artist with a primary focus in Monotype Printmaking. She was born in Bangkok, Thailand and now lives and works in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Her current work is inspired in part by Henri Matisse’s Cut-Outs. She cut-out shapes in newsprint and modified the pressure of the printing press to transfer the inked cut-outs onto printmaking paper. Her prints are made in layers; each layer has to dry before another can be added. A finished piece can have 8-10 layers, taking up to 6 weeks to finish. This series expresses both meditative calm and exuberant, joyful energy.
