Statement
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the lives of everyone, artists and photographers included. The virus put projects on hold, restricted access to subjects, eliminated travel and caused anxiety. But many artists found new subjects and ways to apply their craft to tell stories of how the virus affected us all. Here we’ve gathered six photographers whose projects explore the lockdown in and around Boston between mid-March and late June, 2020.
Edward Boches rode a folding bike around the city to document Boston’s transformed spaces.
Lou Jones made a record of the new ways the pandemic forced people to adapt.
Margaret Lampert created portraits of friends and acquaintances sheltered in place.
Jeff Larason documented the many signs small businesses used to communicate during the lockdown.
Coco McCabe, stuck at home, began digging through family artifacts.
Juan Murray wandered the city to find scenes that reflected his own feelings of being alone.
