The intricate and excessive Obsessions 2020 and 2021 art prints were created by Julie Progin for Latitude 22N between 2020 and 2022 as a release from growing impulses brought about by the lockdowns during the pandemic – namely cooking and cleaning. 

These highly detailed illustrations take their cue from the densely decorated “Mille Fleurs” – in Chinese wan hua dui, (‘ten thousand flowers piled up’,) – patterns traditionally painted on porcelain. They were reshaped to embrace daily rituals of food preparation and cleansing. 

“To rid myself of worries during the pandemic, I delved into meticulous projects. Drawing complex and minute illustrations helped to take my mind off from any surfacing compulsions to clean and cook. Instead, I decided to transform these obsessions into humorous evocations of nature instead.”
