Doris Mitsch | Locked Down Looking Up

“Locked Down Looking Up” started as a series of images made over time from a fixed point—outside the artist’s front door—during the San Francisco Bay Area’s lockdown to slow the spread of Covid-19. Multiple shots were combined to show the flight trails of birds, insects, and bats. While most everything in Doris Mitsch’s life had come to a standstill, up in the air, there was still a lot going on. Later, when she started to be able to move around a little more, she began to explore other locations.
