It has been difficult restarting my practice during the tumult of the COVID-19 pandemic. I had already been significantly disrupted during the past six months, moving house three times and spending a period of time overseas. I now find myself in a new place, without proper studio space and within the confines of restricted movement.
Throughout this time I have continued to draw and record a procession of ideas, new formats and associations to themes of time, space and the Sun. Things can move quite fast with drawing and I have much new work that I am eager to produce.
I expected something different from the results of returning to painting. This canvas was a compromise, starting small to get the ball rolling (so to speak), it has done its job and I am now working on some new shaped works and one larger canvas. All fighting for attention within my limited working space and sometimes chaotic, stressed out headspace.
It's good to be back.
