Quartz Inversion documents how these artists experienced the Spring 2020 global Coronavirus lockdown from different places around the world. In their own words, images and videos, the invited participants share what they've been reflecting on during the “Great Pause”; how they've adapted to suddenly-shifted conditions (such as teaching ceramics online, home-schooling their children, and working away from their normal studios and equipment); and what they’ve been making, as they somehow managed to continue their studio practices, in whatever places and with whatever materials were ready-to-hand.

QI presents examples of the work each artist is best known for, plus several brand new “Lockdown” works — many of them made in clay, but also in other media including fiber, rubber, paint, recycled cardboard, polymer clay, ink and watercolor drawing, and bamboo coated in cow dung.

Following an epidemiological model of transmission, the Quartz Inversion community will continue to expand according to a “Rate of Affection” where Ra= 1.
