Diagram of a Silent Garden is an open call for a group show, using the title for a prompt and general invitation. Intended to reflect a range of practice in flux during Covid-19, we hoped to create a space to reconsider making work in our new condition. As our participant pool expanded the project naturally shifted from print to online form. We are proud to publish these pieces and thankful to those who took the time to let this site become a wide index of their practices. In the spirit of this ongoing conversation, we will continue to be open to new submissions.

Core Team: Brian Sing, Jared Fellows; 3D Identity with Ted Youjong Kim; Design by Brian Sing & Jake Brussel Faria; Developed by Jake Brussel Faria. Submit to DSG II here.

I re­turned home to my par­en­t’s house (and in-net­work health­care) in early March (2020). My dri­ver’s li­cense ex­pired, and the DMV closed, so I es­sen­tially re­mained in the same 10-block ra­dius for the next six weeks. Painting be­came a way to more in­ti­mately know the space I was con­fined to and to think out­side its perime­ters, to­wards the fu­ture and the past.
