At the end of March, with the shelter in place plan in full effect, Bay Area photographers Jenny Sampson, Colleen Mullins, Nicole White, and Christy McDonald embarked on a creative approach to self-quarantining. They started making daily homages to their favorite photographs – in toilet paper.
“Thinking about the seriousness of the moment combined with the surreal quality of what was occurring around us,” the photographers say in their statement, “we thought that we should make images to occupy our time and give us something to work on while in our homes."
