Statement

My practice, like everything, has been impacted significantly by Covid-19. It has however stayed true to how we relate to our place and locality within that context. Making work to respond to place and situation has been the raison d'être for these shifting times. I have been researching location, looking at my immediate surroundings through that lens. This necessity has been enlightening. Mapping place in drawing, via the senses and observation. Repeatedly revisiting the same places at different times of the day and the night, as well as now with time and the continued Pandemic, into the seasons. Mapping both my personal relationship with my own corner of the world in a specific and detailed manner but it is also capturing the timbre and moment in history in a more universal sense. This relationship between the local and the global all at the same time.
