“In keeping with Ginny Sykes’s artistic practice throughout the years regarding feminist topics, it should come as no surprise that she openly shares a topic that others may prefer to keep private. The Recovery Drawings by Ginny Sykes reflect her months-long recovery in 2020 from the painful effects of a hysterectomy, along with salmonella poisoning. Her bodily upheaval occurred during COVID’s early days. These circumstances played heavily on her mind while she produced this body of work from April through November. Each drawing was dated, and chronicles her physical healing process; and importantly supported her emotional healing as well. Her drawings allow us to witness the evolution of her recovery that at times seemed insurmountable.”
-Linda Cohn, Visual Artist, 2023
