In the intimacy of his confinement in Milano, Kris Ruhs takes the quarantine into a dynamic new relationship with his artistic process through the discipline of a single drawing a day.
Far more than physical bondage, the artist is forced to endure through the limits of one single flat surface, the quarantine he himself is also experiencing physically. As he fills each page in his “diary” with the stages of isolation and death and despair that are common to us all – the intellectual and emotional responses of courage, fear, humor, depression, beauty, and resignation are seen in these “fragments” of his individual response to the reality.
