Stolen Sky (2020) by Nicola López
PPE is a new online exhibition at the School of the Arts’ LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies, which runs through July 3, 2021. The show was conceived in March 2020, and features recent works by 15 artists who are printmakers. In the past year, many of them had to find alternative ways of making art.
PPE presents the works and stories that brewed with artists’ experiences of this time.
In the context of the exhibition, the curators, Kaela Mei-Chee Chambers and Farah Mohammad, MFA students in SoA’s Visual Arts Program, intend PPE to mean both Personal Protective Equipment and Printmakers in the Pandemic Era. Both themes are touched on throughout the show. All the works displayed were made within the last year.

My sister, Clare McPhee, who has died aged 66 of cancer, was a gifted poet and writer. She published seven collections of poems, focusing on the natural world and objects of importance to her. She also taught creative writing, helping people to access their own imagination and participate in literature.
Born in Dartford, Kent, Clare was the daughter of Bill Crossman, a hotelier, and his wife, Charmian (nee Hanson), who became a vicar. When Clare was 14 the family moved to Cumbria.
