Artist's statement on this artwork originally published on the @laborcamp Instagram account:

What gets memorialized, and what must be remembered. What is remembered, and what is forgotten, and how rarely do we have agency over which is which. All this after I saw a woodpecker on the side of my house, and it instantly made me think of COVID-19 test procedure. I know: It doesn’t make sense. None of it does.
