This series of 34 monoprints, titled Angels & Demons of the Pandemic, was created in response to the corona virus pandemic, and the many heroes and villains who have played a part in it. I was inspired by holy cards, tarot cards, ex votos, & Renaissance paintings of saints. I was also thinking about the meaning of the words corona and pandemic. Corona means small circle of light, halo, crown. The origins of the word “pandemic”: mid 17th century: from Greek pandēmos (from pan ‘all’ + dēmos ‘people’), and the word “pandemonium”: mid 17th century: modern Latin (denoting the place of all demons, in Milton’s Paradise Lost), from pan- ‘all’ + Greek daimōn ‘demon’.
