Chris Plaisted’s “2020 the Missing Year” Installed in Spring Hill, KS

2020 the Missing Year

Medium: Steel – Dimensions: 7’ x 68″ x 44″

As 2020 ended in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were all left picking up the pieces of our lives. It affected everyone differently, depending on various personal factors. The Missing Year is an abstract interpretation of COVID-19. From multiple viewpoints of this sculpture, you can see each of the letters of COVID. Representing the number 19, you will see 18 bars on the base. One of the bars is missing a section due to a mutation, bringing the total to 19.
