In March 2020, artist Randy Lee Cutler responded to pandemic isolation by creating collages in her living room. She eventually made more than 70 individual images collectively titled On the Other Hand. Working with gifted and thrifted national geographic magazines, Cutler embraced the virus by channelling its RNA code to cast spells through hieroglyphic forms. By bringing disparate elements together into new configurations, an emergent lexicon is cast of human gestures and cultural artifacts. These sparse, abstract images operate as a kind of writing, open to interpretation while resonating our shared bodily experiences of uncertainty.
