"HUG," a hardbound, 132-page book featuring 55 illustrations.
"When the vaccine for COVID first appeared, it was generally thought that we could now shake hands, hug and gather in large crowds again. I thought that working on a series of hugs might be interesting, so I started asking people to hug for me and working up monotypes from their photos." But recent history has had a way of shapeshifting. After the Delta and other variants entered the picture, Bennett expanded the project to include self-hugs and even the hugging of pillows, dogs, cats and more.
