The Pandemic Diaries is a series of pointed, emotional and sarcastic word collages that bring together renowned artist Dolores Poacelli‘s many years as a fine artist and graphic designer, her abundance of opinions and her love of satire.These document her highly personal feelings about the global pandemic. A hand-picked selection of her 102 black and white collages, each piece has a visual attitude and a tactile quality like so much of her abstract art.
