In distressing and fear-riddled times, community care is at the forefront of my mind, and I am excited by work that encourages us to acknowledge one another. I Thought of You Today includes messages from Iowa City residents addressed to some element of their community—the local arts scene, their neighbors, or whatever it is they feel strongly about. These sentiments are embedded in handmade kozo paper, side by side with stamps, envelopes, and other correspondence ephemera I have accumulated over the years. This work asks observers to treat their community tenderly, by which I mean genuinely seeing one another, and allowing ourselves to care deeply.
