Novelist Jenny Odell Wrote About Nature And Art, And Suddenly Her Book Seems Even More Relevant

WORDS Posted: May 11, 2020 6:15 am

Odell’s simply considering things, not worried about producing art during the lockdown. “I have been thinking about that redirecting of attention. Our grocery store has the usual spaced-out lines with markings on the ground, and as you stand in line you just find yourself standing near this weird part of the building that you would never stand near. So now you have all this time to contemplate this wall. That seemed like a visual metaphor for everything else. The thing has always been here; now you’re like standing in a very weird relation to it and you’re looking at it.” – Vox
