Simultaneity Art Show (SAS) Digital Exhibition: Clayton Stephens
Artist Statement
These images are influenced by the current epidemic we are experiencing. I am inspired by the sense of isolation and being cramped as we try to make it through. As a gay man, I have never felt the world as small, and am lucky to feel such a way. However this pandemic seems to have put us back inside, and back in the closet, as it were.
