2020, Animation and Installation

Click here to read an essay about the 2020 Exhibition. Written by Roksana Filipowska, PHD.

2020 is a video installation that includes a cell animation and 2-8’ x 4'’ felt and canvas wall hangings.

“Thwing’s work is a personal perspective on the Trump era, Black Lives Matter, the pandemic, and the twenty-four-hour news stream become a rhythmic mantra in her animation. The chaotic simultaneity of current events and Thwing’s internal conflict is set to a soundtrack that is both catchy and unsettling. In 2020, our collective trauma and grief is balanced with moments of hope. Thwing uses the body’s position and proximity to other bodies as a gauge of emotional states: the anxiety of oppression, solidarity of protest, sadness of solitary illness, callousness of the news cycle, and quietness of communing with nature. “
