Lockdown traces - Art from a distance...
the physical, digital, imagined and found...
It is...
experimental
a document
an index
time...
slow...
meandering...
changing
growing
spreading...
art and life and life and art
solitary and shared
It is not...
art in lockdown...
It is...
art of lockdown...
unlocked
not about...
not inspired...
not locked down.
It is of one space but, many places
collected...
created...
appropriated...
noticed...
pondered...
thought...

tissue paper and graphite 1700 x 800 mm (approx). Photo documentation. isolation... Artwork created from a situation of social distancing. The front door is now an uncrossable boundry. Tissue paper becomes a delicate wrapping, a safe seal from the outside world.
Photo collage
a photo capture to memorialise the tissue remains after the removal from door. working against spatial problems... utilising momentary free space before it becomes shared family space. time, moments, isolation.
No Exit... a ghost, a trace of 'front door'. The entry and exit of home dormant
No Exit... Lying in situ in the living space as a reminder of what was... before isolation.
Detailed image of letterbox the only physical connection to the world beyond the door.
Photo documentation of through the letter box.
Photo documentation of through the letter box.
Remembering outdoor... existing... beyond the threshold of home. Photo documentation of through the letter box.

Front door
the threshold between me and the outside world...
No exit
Wrapped in tissue paper; the material that I use to delicately store away my most precious things...
is now the material, storing me, away from everything beyond.
I carefully build...
tissue over door, a cocoon like protector.
feeling my way into every bend and fold...
remembering shape and form through touch. a mark of time with graphite and fingertips.

What soft light through yonder letter box...

No Post Today...




This day... That day... The other...
a situation that brings out the impossible
this is not going to be fun...
there is no escaping the virtual
there is nowhere to hide...
do this... do that... be here... be there...
where is the off button???
visual overload
stuff stuff stuff touch it... feel it... smell it...
Don't be fooled by the follows and likes... they are not real
look at me look at me look at me
no no no
I don't know what is real anymore
do your homework.....
selfless selfish helpless kindness hopeless




Kitchen
the hub of family life
the central meeting space
apparently!
Rewind...
kitchen
the hub of grub and stuff
a space of culinary creativity...
of testing
experimenting
of easy cleaning...
traces of this, that and the other.
nutrition for the mind
and body...
kitchen
the hub of doing
a space to paint
to glue
to fold...
an assemblage of art and life and life and art
kitchen, studio, gallery.

I saw a squirrel passing through today...






thinking, drinking and resting...
keeping things in perspective

paint and fold and fold with paint
keeping things in...
perspective.






Plane in Lockdown
Plane...
flat...
level...
a surface...
imagined in space.

locked down...
isolated from space.
