*From Witzky's Statement:

"These paintings were made in the midst of the lockdown. A tough time to get creative, no interaction, no movement – my mind was blank but also pulsing like a TV, flipping channel to channel, no cohesion, not even trying to make sense of it. At the end of this process George Floyd was murdered - so this all feels a bit superfluous now.

In honor of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and all of those ensnared in the web of this brutal, unjust and racist system I am donating 100% of the proceeds of all of my paintings to the National Bail Out Collective."

“The National Bail Out collective is a Black-led and Black-centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers and activists building a community-based movement to support our folks and end systems of pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration. We are people who have been impacted by cages — either by being in them ourselves or witnessing our families
and loved ones be encaged. We are queer, trans, young, elder, and immigrant.” https://nationalbailout.org/about/
