While Covid 19 raged, Carol Benson needed a focus and an escape.  She created a series of drawings, working in a stream-of-consciousness manner, which reflected her fears and feelings. Benson has created over one hundred drawings, first in black watercolor crayon then later in the series transitioning to color. The intense black of the monochromatic drawings echoes the darkness of the time, softened with water and drips that illustrate a loss of control and reliance on chance. Benson considers these drips as the tears shed during the pandemic. Although the works are abstract, Benson inadvertently found herself repeating certain themes in the separate drawings of the series. She experiences migraines and the zigzag auras these produce can be seen in her drawings.  Also prominent is unintelligible writing that reflects the incomprehensible bombardment of medical news, often conflicting, which we find ourselves subjected to. Benson uses other repeating symbols such as circles, gravestones, coronavirus spikes, skulls, RNA strands, Delta triangles, and charts. Her later works that incorporate color emphasize the weaving patterns of various shades as representative of her long-time admiration for the fabric art forms traditionally practiced by women.
