Be a Bud, 2020
These images form the work 'Be a bud ’ made whilst on lockdown in South London. I think of my work and objects being like letters or even a word which together form a sentence or perhaps a paragraph. I started doing mindfulness and yoga on zoom each morning which influenced my thinking. I liked the feeling of working with oil and water based materials. It felt like a sensory experience that I was glad of. Gradually my home studio began to fill up with these small, slight presences. I propped them up on the fireplace and table. They often emerged at the end of the day when I found solace in bringing something to life. They feel like a kind of utterance.
