Performance

This was hugely influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic;

while studying at ECA, all of our practise had been online,

and quickly, artistic expression felt repressed to mere pixels

and a digital display.

As a subconscious response, I became obsessed with

tangible and physical methods of working. Touch is such

an important part of expression and creativity, and so I

began working again with textures - taking chalk and

charcoal rubbings from trees of their textures, and making

sculptural pieces from reeds which have been made for

hundreds of years before us in odes to goddesses and the

saints.
