Lockdown was a misery but gardening was my
salvation
Lockdown

I chose the medium of watercolour as it has a fragile quality. I wanted it to portray my husband dissolving in front of my eyes! The frustration of not being able to get the correct medical help and advice. Meanwhile he fades.
Dissolving
Finally I get past the receptionist!
1 doctor calls.
15 antibiotics.
1 husband ceases to dissolve and
begins to resolve.
8 days of suffering ends.
He breathes easily again.

Lloyd tries to imitate human beings in order to
feel protected. Or at least, this is what, as being human, we assume.

I’m lucky to live very near a couple of parks, and walking in them when everything was closed inspired this work.

My work centres on the extraordinary nature of
the ordinary everyday. The things that we may give very little time to are for
me a cause of meditation and celebration, these kinds of moments have gained
more value with the current Covid crisis. We now have more time on our hands to
observe and contemplate our lives and the things immediately surrounding us.
When all the distractions are gone - the job to go to, the restaurant to eat
in, the pub to drink and socialise in you’re left only to meditate with the
objects, the streets and the people around you. I view this latest body of work
as a series of meditations - a moment in time contemplated and recorded for
what it is.

These words are taken
from the lyrics of a song I wrote in response to an increasing feeling of
sadness or sorrow which I experienced when using video call as a way of
communicating socially and at work (I've not seen my colleagues for over 7
months). It was a feeling which seemed to be saying
something about the incremental losses we are experiencing around presence,
human connection and intimacy during the pandemic. It was about something more
than 'Zoom fatigue', something about our relationship with our bodies and our
humanness.

I wore one long before. Now everyone wears one
nothing seems real.
Mask
I must not fear.
Fear is the Mindkiller
The face we wear is not always the face we
believe we are wearing.

At the height of the first wave of the Covid
pandemic, I painted Diane (oils on canvas). Diane still works as a senior
charge nurse in a respiratory ward that became a Covid ward, based at the Royal
Infirmary of Edinburgh. I aimed to capture the mood and exhaustion of Diane
between unrelenting shifts. At the time of painting, the work of the NHS and
other keyworkers was relatively overlooked.

It was inspired by that weird world-turned
upside-down sense of almost hibernatory lethargy during lockdown. I also have a
fixation with bats!

Howling for Health is symbolic of the current
climate, when nature takes over and makes a howl for health and healing under a
full moon. I wanted to show solidarity with global health workers and that's
why I used the health symbol.

The solution to pollution is dilution.
To sustain an unhinged environment to happily live in, only occurs with use of personal protection, to eliminate hazards via the nervous system by technology.
Biohacking, shielding & grounding eliminate electromagnetic power through the earth’s natural resources, enabling detoxification of the nervous system.
Genesis 2:7
Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Job 27:3
For as long as life is in me,
And the breath of God is in my nostrils.

This photograph is part of an ongoing series I
am working on in order to capture the natural light in various ways around my
home. About two months before lockdown, I moved to new
accommodation, which was part of a fresh start for me, with exciting
possibilities and friendships. I had no idea at this point just how much time I
would be spending in this new environment. Over this relatively short period of time, the
house has become my home. Staying at home throughout the day means I can explore
the light patterns in different rooms and capture their movement through film
and photography. I enjoy watching the light become stronger in certain areas, and
then fade away to nothing. Through this process I am documenting the time
passing each day, and I am capturing a disappearing moment, which is never
quite the same when revisited the next day.
