there was a proliferation on social media of people making and selling homemade
masks, and selfies of people wearing their masks. I am a portrait artist and
several things occurred to me: Masks are a symbol of this historic time we are
living through, people use masks like clothing, as a way of expressing their
personality, and the effectiveness of mask-wearing is dependent upon community;
people doing it together in order to protect one another. I started receiving
selfies of people in their masks and took up the challenge of finding
resemblance and character with only part of the face visible. They are small
pieces, powerful together. I plan to continue the project as long as the
pandemic lasts in parallel endurance to my community.</span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrT6gk9D88HK9pncYVFLNVjI3tM0hWwyoTBmJJAB-WHbVt3NW-GXxNXpLp9kEMq601MIN9eq551IicnEmU3-4dktS-vc10wEmvskJQD6kNqU7ILSw6vBPTaH_qcPYrCk1Cheb_dmBjw0/s2048/Carol+Wylie_Sh.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2038" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrT6gk9D88HK9pncYVFLNVjI3tM0hWwyoTBmJJAB-WHbVt3NW-GXxNXpLp9kEMq601MIN9eq551IicnEmU3-4dktS-vc10wEmvskJQD6kNqU7ILSw6vBPTaH_qcPYrCk1Cheb_dmBjw0/s320/Carol+Wylie_Sh.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sh</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><b>O.

the heroes of war. The outbreak of the coronavirus produced our unlikely

we are in a box. In this coded work, the boxes are randomised, just like the
chance of the getting the virus. But the size, colour and animation speed of
the boxes correlate to the UK’s daily Covid case number and the rate of change.
For example, the steeper the increase of cases, the faster the boxes appear.
Shapes that resemble a cross loom in the center from time to time. Over time,
the boxes weave into a complex ghostly pattern. The animation varies day by day
based on the latest covid data.</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><br />

their lives to the Coronavirus while caring for the ones we love. Key workers
are risking their lives on a daily basis.</span><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The work is a memorial to those sacrificing
their lives on the front line and a reminder for future generations not to
forget them. The images are records of the people who have lost their lives to
keep us safe. These images speak to us, hold us accountable and force us
question our own mortality. When we die we all return to nature.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">During the Covid 19 pandemic, we will remember
isolation, loss, grief, anxiety, fear, and the weather. The beautiful weather
has made the isolation more bearable for some, however it not fit the pandemic,
it confuses and conflicts the message.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The images have been made through this period of
lockdown, using the ‘chlorophyll process’, a process where you need immense natural
light to burn an image onto the leaves. They have been exposed for days or
weeks to allow the natural process to occur. The green pigments of the plant
will darken accordingly, resulting in a ghostly image on the leaves with a
haunting sense of loss.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyCQJjdn6mS0IPOcd9zag0cufFftq11xt2HS4f7RCVJyAUPchUw6UcBJJti_UHy6OizmR674QdFZRpW5CMr6zZPj_i2Uyva4qaJdHATxzPMTJUe7JIMDagYs8L25RdayO3I3Gm9jh34Qg/s2048/Jacob+Weeks_To+Remember%252C+Recollect%252C+Think+of%252C+Bear+in+Mind.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

lockdown. At the time, my resources were very limited which encouraged the use
of more experimental materials and methods. With these restrictions came the
need to reuse surfaces, when I felt I had lost interest in a work I’d take the
fabric off the frame and re-stretch it backwards, giving me an entirely new
surface to work with whilst not wasting the original fabric. My surroundings at
the time were very natural, which I think is reflected in the painting’s pallet
and textures.</span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-8ye8An4HCBdZXDfKgyaMkCdebI08mLbDOgBINncMFRu8sRyGieLVHnNIJpxl3U5GCNbYevz3fog_p00LgME9dA6mocco1BKQnkZniN5t9_gTCuM71YiTeIRZy8psTFVdSELn5vaU70/s1089/Hannah+Sullivan_Untitled.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1089" data-original-width="759" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-8ye8An4HCBdZXDfKgyaMkCdebI08mLbDOgBINncMFRu8sRyGieLVHnNIJpxl3U5GCNbYevz3fog_p00LgME9dA6mocco1BKQnkZniN5t9_gTCuM71YiTeIRZy8psTFVdSELn5vaU70/s320/Hannah+Sullivan_Untitled.jpg" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Untitled</span></span></span></p><p><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><b>Nerissa Cargill Thompson</b> - </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50;">nerissact.co.uk @</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50;">nerissact</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;">Glove Story: A Tale of Covid 19</span><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">During lockdown, on my government mandated
health walks around Chorlton, I noticed a change in the litter I was seeing.
Fewer plastic bottles and take away cartons but a growing collection of
disposable gloves, wipes and masks. The gloves felt particularly poignant.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;">Being hand shapes, they suggest human presence
no longer there. Some looked as though they were still inhabited with a hand,
others had fallen to form gestures (not always polite) maybe suggesting a
feeling or reaction to the pandemic, some formed shapes like someone practicing
shadow puppets and then there were combinations as though they were
communicating at a time when touch and communication were so restricted and
some combined with other litter to suggest a situation. So I started a
collection of photographs as a way of documenting the pandemic.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I started by developing pieces combining
manipulated textiles and cement cast in plastic packaging with suitable texture
to reflect the way the gloves were abandoned on pavements or caught in gutters
and drains. As my collection of photographs grew, so did my series of cast
panels forming this Memorial. Entombed in the cement, it reinforced the permanence
of loss and the long-lasting effect of this pandemic. The gloves symbolise
fleeting human interaction and loss. The waste of time and resources during
covid-19 leading to lost lives, particularly the disregard for the protection
of keyworkers. It felt important to also respond to the tragic death of George
Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests through this this series.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM5hvKa8SsVhcQT9ldJz1ViAz1l46D24rly0V-7wa9VLustndRqYarI-BIVW5m4e_OhTMyNe06jTT4YiRKVoKoJCzw9NXATwW5qWIb7UWWnpraw7cWXTJLbqmHxEONXzk-ECx7yXKxRjQ/s1500/Nerissa+Cargill+Thompson_Glove+Story+Memorial+%25282020%2529+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM5hvKa8SsVhcQT9ldJz1ViAz1l46D24rly0V-7wa9VLustndRqYarI-BIVW5m4e_OhTMyNe06jTT4YiRKVoKoJCzw9NXATwW5qWIb7UWWnpraw7cWXTJLbqmHxEONXzk-ECx7yXKxRjQ/w200-h200/Nerissa+Cargill+Thompson_Glove+Story+Memorial+%25282020%2529+2.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQgvQy4zZlzwHhGgTQ_UCDjMrUFMMefzBMkwpBovimXaSxnju1V95iEaWTFXHXYDPaIFcHSoO8PSkJpvASIyca4bO_0ncn0l9AVa9KX5KQVbi3MJaT2s0RAtUnAD8fzicPbq4Sb-zaD5Y/s1500/Nerissa+Cargill+Thompson_Glove+Story+Memorial+%25282020%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1499" data-original-width="1500" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQgvQy4zZlzwHhGgTQ_UCDjMrUFMMefzBMkwpBovimXaSxnju1V95iEaWTFXHXYDPaIFcHSoO8PSkJpvASIyca4bO_0ncn0l9AVa9KX5KQVbi3MJaT2s0RAtUnAD8fzicPbq4Sb-zaD5Y/w200-h200/Nerissa+Cargill+Thompson_Glove+Story+Memorial+%25282020%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Glove Story: Memorial (2020)</span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><b>Stella Tripp </b>- </span></span></span></span>stellatripp.co.uk @stella.tripp</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">Together Apart: At the start of
lockdown I felt very lucky to have my studio in my house, so I could carry on

based at the University of Manchester, currently intercalating at Barts and the
London, in Pre-Hospital Medicine. Over lockdown, I worked as Clinical Support
Worker at the NHS Nightingale North West (NNW). This involved caring for
patients with COVID-19. This pandemic has massively impacted so many aspects of
medicine, from the way we are taught to how we communicate with patients. In
this self-portrait, I have explored these ideas, specifically focusing on the
effect of working whilst wearing PPE. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8U7_w87eZBCM-h5AphCszdU-Ny_CXu6xhYXAT2gsfoCpTupS1zm688FF1dPSFJLVz7UT49RenDQD2nrvwf-WgWD-oi3TSFn0fyuanIUOMk7BYKbXAa2fk1iuL3RH-Xv3EIxucz3_8ZQY/s2048/Sophie+Riley_Masked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1344" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8U7_w87eZBCM-h5AphCszdU-Ny_CXu6xhYXAT2gsfoCpTupS1zm688FF1dPSFJLVz7UT49RenDQD2nrvwf-WgWD-oi3TSFn0fyuanIUOMk7BYKbXAa2fk1iuL3RH-Xv3EIxucz3_8ZQY/s320/Sophie+Riley_Masked.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Masked</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"><b>Kate Rolison </b>- </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">@poesiegrenadine </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">At a loss at the beginning of lockdown, I

such as short walks and everyday tasks were always difficult and rarely
completed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<span style="background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;">During lockdown I have been able to embrace the
quietness and solitude of the outdoors and able to carry out everyday tasks.
This has given me the opportunity to relax and appreciate everything that we
have already in the natural world. I decided to illustrate a subject every day
that I saw on my daily walk relating to nature. I have been painting with
handmade charcoal ink on mulberry paper.</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>

wanted to see whether a paint bubble would maintain its bubble state when dry
(a true 3D painting). I tried different types of paints and varied additives -
they all popped! Each failed experiment created a hermetically sealed unit,
like every household in Britain, and my own sense of suffocation was
represented by them. I began to draw squashed and distorted parts of my body
into the airless and isolated pockets.

by Caroline Perez exposing data bias in a world designed for men. From
government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, and media,
it reveals how half of the population is ignored, often with disastrous
consequences.</span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><span style="line-height: 107%;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">These data biases are heightened in times of
conflict, natural disasters, and pandemics, when women’s lives are
disproportionality affected by higher risk of infection, sexual abuse, and
domestic violence. COVID-19 demonstrates society’s inequality ‘beautifully’,
not just for women but any minority.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<span style="background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;">'The making of a feminist' captures a figure
struggle towards embracing feminism within the global catastrophe. In
quarantine I used for the first-time myself as life-model. The work consists of
100 drawings (selfies) and a 3-minute audio-visual clip, where these drawings
evolve with sound composition enhancing the lockdown domesticity commenting on
the associations of so-called women’s chores, interwoven with text:</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<span style="background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;">In the current situation a logical way to
improve gender inequality is to implement preferential condition for women. I
find it humiliating to be given a special treatment although I do want a level
playing field.</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<span style="background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;">I am aware of how privileged I am, and therefore
worried about predominantly white middle-class western flavour of feminism.</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<span style="background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;">On the other hand, thinking about major
self-imposed dangers facing humanity a more balanced or even women-only
leadership would prove much better suited for choosing and promoting
collective, rather than competitive effort.</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<span style="background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;">The way female-led governments have tackled
COVID-19 is a good demonstration of how that would work.</div></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlRuyaSQIXYPM_ZFdG0otcJMVDViCJEEGuS_punRfeH-4ZEisLuzYninQI6t_E616sfedORHT5lJ-6bYETHh_GtOatUlcffTjwVaqApMDe7-EyLgaSZ8VlMSRpoY1qJNIkUUuKDDmLxsQ/s2048/Kate+Steenhauer+and+Maria+Sappho_The+Making+of+a+Feminist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2020" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlRuyaSQIXYPM_ZFdG0otcJMVDViCJEEGuS_punRfeH-4ZEisLuzYninQI6t_E616sfedORHT5lJ-6bYETHh_GtOatUlcffTjwVaqApMDe7-EyLgaSZ8VlMSRpoY1qJNIkUUuKDDmLxsQ/s320/Kate+Steenhauer+and+Maria+Sappho_The+Making+of+a+Feminist.jpg" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>The Making of a Feminist</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><b>Anthony Stevens</b> - </span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">candidastevens.com/artists/154-anthony-stevens/works/ </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">coag.dk/artists#/anthony-stevens</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;">Made in 2020 as part of Isolated Observations,

reading the phrase ‘Everything hinges on what we do next’, on various news
sites during the height of the U.K lockdown.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;">It is true, it does. We are currently in a
liminal space, a place of suspension that will pass, just as the virus
eventually will and all the rainbows in windows with it; rainbows which I feel
are representative of a specific set of circumstances and factors, just as the
rainbows we see in the sky are.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">At some point, we will all have to open our
doors again and step across our thresholds and out into the world. Will the
time in isolation have affected us, changed us and our world view in any
significant way? Will we view our lives and the very act of living differently
after being so vividly confronted with it’s finite nature on such a mass scale?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;">The first act of opening our doors after
lockdown, the hinges moving, being set into action by our intent to step back
into the world will be a profoundly significant one. That intent and it’s
motivations will dictate what happens next for us as individuals and the world
as a whole.</div></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqd7kn6aTFcYnftROIXslTmhCvhyBYGHsKY9SETgmtfLSrhqRfX1ab4QfURH-orikDcFYp1thRe-lu5s-3TAqJnjGD3ivUG8bne6Pft7jeYd1aRncsnI0vvbZTZAa1N_-bs2EY5kKXe8/s2048/Anthony+Stevens_Threshold+2020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1342" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqd7kn6aTFcYnftROIXslTmhCvhyBYGHsKY9SETgmtfLSrhqRfX1ab4QfURH-orikDcFYp1thRe-lu5s-3TAqJnjGD3ivUG8bne6Pft7jeYd1aRncsnI0vvbZTZAa1N_-bs2EY5kKXe8/s320/Anthony+Stevens_Threshold+2020.jpg" /></a></div><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Threshold</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.15pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Vanessa Stewart</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.15pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.15pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A motif fragment from an original

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The first piece of work I would like to present
is called Reunion. I made this work as a reminder to myself that, although I
deeply missed my family, we would one day be reunited. It was particularly
poignant as my daughter had just been diagnosed with cancer. She had recently
moved to Dublin, so as Ireland closed its borders and our flights were
cancelled I knew it would be a long time until I saw her again. She went
through all the treatment alone without her family by her side. At times this
was very painful to experience at a distance. The meditative stitching of the
work helped me to cope with the helplessness I felt.</span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 8pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEd4Y5jYHVbS2crC5Fi8h4Z6YK8DjEDK_RdpN9RPWRGEOCqhif-TPo69iaqAB_8tt8KS9uwHCv4x3n3RLL3jlb8wdfS6NAF3VVjE73oX2h91ibDrQm1bPi2KgGMbxHS3DR7YdoCQ_1mJ4/s2048/Sabine+Kaner_Reunion.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1827" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEd4Y5jYHVbS2crC5Fi8h4Z6YK8DjEDK_RdpN9RPWRGEOCqhif-TPo69iaqAB_8tt8KS9uwHCv4x3n3RLL3jlb8wdfS6NAF3VVjE73oX2h91ibDrQm1bPi2KgGMbxHS3DR7YdoCQ_1mJ4/s320/Sabine+Kaner_Reunion.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 8pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="color: #2c3e50; font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">‘Reunion’</span></div></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">

issues like the BLM protests that I felt I had to engage with. The BAME
community have been disproportionately affected by the Covid-19 virus. As a
mixed race person and one of the Windrush descendants I felt compelled to share
some of my personal journey on social media. I created an image by reusing an
original piece of work called reunion, and created a new photo collage which </span></span></span></span><span style="color: #2c3e50;">represented the abstract representation of the
unity of all of us.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXNDHvphM-dmoq8zitzeVYXC6yioAGpp8KPaZqYEEmY3SRoPsmBXOGUEMhLGBFMFrOglBrbEZTk2LJbuFQnno-mq1uKY1FbL1UzPIODkKCwNGa9iFNWTPAJwGMXN73q7mZ5Ux1hru2rPE/s2048/Sabine+Kaner_Unity.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXNDHvphM-dmoq8zitzeVYXC6yioAGpp8KPaZqYEEmY3SRoPsmBXOGUEMhLGBFMFrOglBrbEZTk2LJbuFQnno-mq1uKY1FbL1UzPIODkKCwNGa9iFNWTPAJwGMXN73q7mZ5Ux1hru2rPE/s320/Sabine+Kaner_Unity.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">'Unity’</span></span></div><p></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">In this piece of work I wanted to highlight the
way the government and other organisations felt it necessary to close parks,
and a lot of the countryside was closed off for visitors. It made me feel so
sad as I saw images of families living in flats and small spaces and not having
access to any outside space, being trapped inside with small children. As the
days grew longer and the weather warmer the need for some interaction with the
natural world became more urgent!</span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 8pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyCmOdtmKlXMAiNgqo6wPZTSrR6V2tRUQNSTT4J9in88aEyetywf-2G31eU4ctjYoedbsJ9RUlvMJFU_il6TaxwdzRGDoZthntoVWQ6WQg-OBs06P8hk5Zveg-lbRrLxyr6-SLt5G6N2I/s2048/Sabine+Kaner_All+green+spaces+closed.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyCmOdtmKlXMAiNgqo6wPZTSrR6V2tRUQNSTT4J9in88aEyetywf-2G31eU4ctjYoedbsJ9RUlvMJFU_il6TaxwdzRGDoZthntoVWQ6WQg-OBs06P8hk5Zveg-lbRrLxyr6-SLt5G6N2I/s320/Sabine+Kaner_All+green+spaces+closed.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">'All green Spaces closed’</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><b>Julia Keenan</b> - @</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;">juliakeenan</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This work is about empathy, it was created just

pandemic. This is what prompted me to create love and hope painting. It was the
loss of life, and how saddened we all were. My only way to give hope was my oil

just because they reminded us of normality, but because having meals together
consistently was a lost dream. This image is from a Lockdown Table series.
There was something very beautiful about these moments. This family gathering
around a meal was a weekend special and now it was every day. The way we live

the infodemic and all the fake news, I made art: in the only place I was
allowed to be - my front room - with the only material I had - recycled
packaging. My installation is too large to show all of it in one photograph.
Please take note of the coffin - after an old friend of mine died and his
funeral was live-streamed, it was like his coffin was in my front room. My
grief kept me ‘tripping over’ his coffin.</span></div></span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinf_YOcTOLz4aGq67Vgb_Zzw55LXn-1d2hIa9U_w02TYSOI5Y4lgOw8xXfnnK0fR9KSDNmEy5L0ZaoC4IMaF_g_y7hTgHlcT7nqlNdw40vIs8deRlYHRulKqhqUsp50Ec0EIPfs5xfXgw/s2048/Caroline+Mawer_1+Sitting+in+my+Installation.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinf_YOcTOLz4aGq67Vgb_Zzw55LXn-1d2hIa9U_w02TYSOI5Y4lgOw8xXfnnK0fR9KSDNmEy5L0ZaoC4IMaF_g_y7hTgHlcT7nqlNdw40vIs8deRlYHRulKqhqUsp50Ec0EIPfs5xfXgw/s320/Caroline+Mawer_1+Sitting+in+my+Installation.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sitting in my installation</span></div></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;">It was very difficult not being allowed outside

‘HAVING TO REFRAIN’ from our usual conduct.</span><span style="color: #222222;"> Like many people during lockdown I read more. This text was inspired by
confessional poets and H.G. Wells. My thoughts were centred around how
people used to being busy and not prone to much deep thought were effected by
isolation. To some it is a desirable state with release from ‘habitual
mind-sets’. For others the oppressiveness of this world increased,
bringing forth an undercurrent of fear.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLyUwUROU4RsZcKMinPQrF8OmYskdolQLq7Gh2IrrdizFsHH3YVKb7DGT9kS2AJJgs0ENsWbKbUNG7wlUy4yRCrrVV-WpNapnwmc3l8F4QQXwFPPiwykxgBXXqrOfPrLUoETuEuSlrHbs/s2048/Samantha+McKee_HAVING+TO+REFRAIN.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1489" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLyUwUROU4RsZcKMinPQrF8OmYskdolQLq7Gh2IrrdizFsHH3YVKb7DGT9kS2AJJgs0ENsWbKbUNG7wlUy4yRCrrVV-WpNapnwmc3l8F4QQXwFPPiwykxgBXXqrOfPrLUoETuEuSlrHbs/s320/Samantha+McKee_HAVING+TO+REFRAIN.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: small;">HAVING TO REFRAIN</span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 107%;">These are drawings with iridescent

places that I feel a connection with. Through lockdown, I was spending almost
all of my time exploring the reservoir behind where I live. It's otherworldly,
beautiful, and overgrown. Somewhere you can get lost, hide in between trees,
get your trainers stuck in a muddy puddle. It may be a cliche but spending time
in the outdoors made me feel whole and authentic and true to myself. Since I
have been concentrating on representing this romance through painting, trying
to recreate the feeling of this time.</span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD3qSlfct8l7LGBzhZebRaQZnLR2rs6DJHR-SAvWtRu7gIYZOOH92qZpOhhWPiKg6XFanMGLZ-XWtsbWvAQ_fq4MLUtxKe_Rneyc24EnqzQQP4Y_L9QKY-IiSeagcaEvg1WRCVD89QUiM/s2048/Jasmine+Mills_Diana+%2528The+Huntress%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1668" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD3qSlfct8l7LGBzhZebRaQZnLR2rs6DJHR-SAvWtRu7gIYZOOH92qZpOhhWPiKg6XFanMGLZ-XWtsbWvAQ_fq4MLUtxKe_Rneyc24EnqzQQP4Y_L9QKY-IiSeagcaEvg1WRCVD89QUiM/s320/Jasmine+Mills_Diana+%2528The+Huntress%2529.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: small; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><div style="font-size: small; text-align: center;">Diana (The Huntress)</div><div style="font-size: small; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: small; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><b>Joanna Myles </b>-<b> </b></span>www.jmmyles.com</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;">During the lock-down earlier this year I was

allotment tenants started to place a number of signs and notices on the notice
boards and on the entrance gates. This amused me somewhat, and especially as
nature had other plans (as does the virus). The signs became sun-faded and
watermarked and so I decided to capture the moments in a series of water-colour
paintings.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtGaeZRDqRhErKxqidU4gtyf3T4OhIfqGx3dlSp5118w3zW5tPy8dfNrmvgoOGqTwnIDNzBy34aONvmRB1AFCl8Wy-qn7LjScKQhyxxs7N8qI6KZW4tNoRCZmvkXKYtJ7SCaXBgj-gTO8/s1339/Joanna+Myles_Summer+of+C-19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="927" data-original-width="1339" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtGaeZRDqRhErKxqidU4gtyf3T4OhIfqGx3dlSp5118w3zW5tPy8dfNrmvgoOGqTwnIDNzBy34aONvmRB1AFCl8Wy-qn7LjScKQhyxxs7N8qI6KZW4tNoRCZmvkXKYtJ7SCaXBgj-gTO8/s320/Joanna+Myles_Summer+of+C-19.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Summer of C_19</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><b>Japo Okworobu</b> - </span>arts.jin</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">The artist paints thought-provoking portraits
that explore the discovery and realisation of different moments, situations and
times. She wants to communicate those positive and even negative human emotions
through her artwork as each piece is very personal to the conceptual artist. This artwork reflects the current times that we
are all experiencing. ‘Forced happiness’ is one of the explored emotions that
the artist feels that others can directly or indirectly relate to. With the
painted gesture, 'Forced happiness' shows that as a collective irrespective of
gender, race, age or religious beliefs- society pushes us to present a positive
face.</div><span style="line-height: 107%;">

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.</span></div></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span class="gd"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6TguxpCPfRdLOalxT3fRJL8aR5jXUkL_LPKHkHDQhNvqOTgGAlod39KwKp4j_rkumMFqp5eFQecw-3QYmt1uoAtEG7ciz02sBM0e5QoAw78ocNyZlA8Hx0cTwqSymNksinn3OyCa8Fd8/s1921/Stephen+Hennessy_Supermarket+Sweep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1337" data-original-width="1921" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6TguxpCPfRdLOalxT3fRJL8aR5jXUkL_LPKHkHDQhNvqOTgGAlod39KwKp4j_rkumMFqp5eFQecw-3QYmt1uoAtEG7ciz02sBM0e5QoAw78ocNyZlA8Hx0cTwqSymNksinn3OyCa8Fd8/s320/Stephen+Hennessy_Supermarket+Sweep.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; font-family: verdana; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">Supermarket Sweep</span></div><div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; font-family: verdana; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; font-family: verdana; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; line-height: 107%;"><b>Sarah Hinds</b> - </span><span style="color: black; text-align: left;">sarahhinds.wordpress.com soundcloud.com/sarah-hinds-4</span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: black; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; line-height: 107%;">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). </span><span style="color: black; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">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.</span><br />

the light patterns in different rooms and capture their movement through film

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.</div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCNzAaRvMu4TSbNmHffeb-Zb4BM1OUrgySBWiWoR_hqTBB3_a7aPGCrHyEhqiBywH3DvsKvCGuy-jhjAn0xLPxwdZtLSwWNxSSst17arj1hvc_OJfTG81dNHS5NS5uB_H37aDOgzo0iwI/s2048/Helen+Jones_Escape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCNzAaRvMu4TSbNmHffeb-Zb4BM1OUrgySBWiWoR_hqTBB3_a7aPGCrHyEhqiBywH3DvsKvCGuy-jhjAn0xLPxwdZtLSwWNxSSst17arj1hvc_OJfTG81dNHS5NS5uB_H37aDOgzo0iwI/s320/Helen+Jones_Escape.jpg" /></a></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Escape</span></div></span></span></span></div></span></span></div>Humanising Medicinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921039429720998192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226890930074404077.post-76922885179053494292020-11-15T14:39:00.007-08:002020-11-19T08:21:59.867-08:00Day 2<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> <b style="text-align: center;">Covid-19 Art Exhibition</b></span></p><p><u><span style="font-family: verdana;">Day 2 Artists</span></u></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><b>Marinela Caldarus</b> - </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50;">www.artclassesgroup.com @artclassesgroup</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;">March 2020, is the time when Coronavirus took

grief and joy. I began taking life at a slower pace, sowing veggie seeds, and
mending things. Appreciating, observing and attending to nature seemed vital.
My garden, until then somewhat neglected, became my world and route to
wellbeing, providing a sense of peace and purpose. My lockdown project Life in
the Undergrowth was inspired by small hidden worlds in the garden that often
get overlooked. It became a circular process - garden feeding art and art
feeding garden.</span><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">While resurrecting my veggie patch, a
fascination with the entanglement of roots, worms and shoots in upturned turf
led to experimental responses using to-hand materials and found objects. I
drew the knotted clumps obsessively and worked through different processes.
Dried duckweed from my pond, bleached by the sun, became paper; handmade tools
from plant debris generated drawings and sculptural works evolved.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">While digging the earth to make space for an
outdoor studio bay, I found a glut of old rusty nails to use in my work. I
sold my soil locally - creating a circular economy. Encounters between
myself, garden as site and nature helped me form a stronger bond with all that
comes and goes. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50;">Witnessing transformation, life and death, it
was emotional at times. Communing with small creatures, incidents happened,
some wonderful, others very sad.</span></span></div><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">During this time I embraced digital technology
and made a film Life in the Undergrowth, from which this image is taken (see
Instagram: @life_intheundergrowth).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background: white;">Once taking this on the chin and continuing
onwards with my practice I came across some social issues which I have been
lucky enough not to go though.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Loved ones are being separated for long periods
of time. Thinking about people in romantic relationships I thoughts around how
intimacy has been reworked in these last months for many people in
relationships. My focal point of this work was the sexual side of this social
construct we currently have. People aren't able to physically be with one
another and therefore unable to have any form of skin on skin contact which is
one of the most intimate ways of being with someone. During this time I've seen
a lot of relationships break down. Maybe the thought of being apart hurt too
much so trying to be without them hurt less?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I thought about my friends and all the people I
haven't met yet who are separated from their partner(s). They've probably not
had sex not over the Internet in a while. Or even at all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I thought about how skin on skin contact and
feeling someone else on you is quite magical when you feel fantastic about them
and being with them gives you the butterflies even after years of waking up in
the same </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50;">bed.</span></span></div><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">A body print. A visual representation of how my
skin would touch yours. Every fold, crease and line all there to see. How my
body kissed the paper. I present visual touch.

I took a stroll round to the O'Connell tomb where Daniel O'Connell's parents are buried and found that the grass nearby was growing rough and wild, stone had broken off or had been pulled off and left on the ground in front of the tomb and small piles of stone were heaped either side and were being reclaimed by the dark green of the Ivy. It was surrounded by litter as well, bottles, packets, smashed glass and, more notably, disused face masks. I did my best to tidy the area up and kick away some of the more dangerous rubbish, and thought a lot about our mortality. I will be putting it into my next collection which I am working on at the moment.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6retMFvBKCxozs2eHDKBlqAqaB6hHXCzqWQfe-CK9YhYSk3vtLWbOLBbAkpF53Ya1WSI0e3ixaDRO8zaGY8ihGuLYNZwXq5YgTAwqk0H8Nz6EIuE6F4uqkM1_xeBVzeu_E32jl2GYqgI/s800/Alexander+Court_Parents.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="672" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6retMFvBKCxozs2eHDKBlqAqaB6hHXCzqWQfe-CK9YhYSk3vtLWbOLBbAkpF53Ya1WSI0e3ixaDRO8zaGY8ihGuLYNZwXq5YgTAwqk0H8Nz6EIuE6F4uqkM1_xeBVzeu_E32jl2GYqgI/s320/Alexander+Court_Parents.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Parents</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;">"Peel' was a very painful poem to write, mostly because I was missing several layers of skin on my fingertips and tiny cuts also stretched along my fingers as well. During the summer I returned to work as a kitchen porter which meant a lot of washing and sanitising of both the work and myself. The skin of my fingers is very sensitive, as it turns out, and the repeated application of hand sanitiser basically destroyed the surfaces of my hands which made literally anything requiring my hands incredibly painful (Gloves were still in short supply). Thankfully most of the skin has now grown back, though unfortunately I am now temporarily laid off, again. This poem will also feature in my next collection which I am currently in the process of writing.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4hINQex4Z0MGhyphenhyphenall1zpvf033O_MPx52aPXH0e1hOkoBnAy4rBeULOBiWosaSXqjzBIJN-WK8N0qcWoNV0kNsQA23bjFk77lxj1NjyYO3PvAqNb2L-pCEdOclCmCkw8y-BPuAD5iMhrQ/s874/Alexander+Court_Peel.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4hINQex4Z0MGhyphenhyphenall1zpvf033O_MPx52aPXH0e1hOkoBnAy4rBeULOBiWosaSXqjzBIJN-WK8N0qcWoNV0kNsQA23bjFk77lxj1NjyYO3PvAqNb2L-pCEdOclCmCkw8y-BPuAD5iMhrQ/s320/Alexander+Court_Peel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Peel</span></div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><b>Aurelie Crisetig</b> - </span></span><span style="color: #2c3e50;">www.acrisetig.com @aureliecrisetig</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2c3e50;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;">‘This belongs to everyone, so enjoy the view’
depicts the alteration of landscapes through digital topography. The fragment
of areas assembled together compose an ensemble of imaginary panoramas. Every
pattern of land represents a variation of time and space in both the digital
and physical world. Merged together, each landscape becomes an abstract vision
of mending views, recreating a conceptual, unknown environment. These
patchworks of sceneries taken from Google Earth express how diverse a location
on our planet can appear through a visual dispositive. These transfigurations
were both digitally manmade by the apparatus used to capture the landscape, but
also physically transformed by the global warming produced by human beings.
Both changes depict the unpredictable development of landscape during this
tumultuous time.</span><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><br />

regular supplies delivered via Amazon. It occurred to me that I was only able
to make political art addressing the social issues of this time because some
people had no choice but to risk their health delivering goods. They took the
risk so I didn't have to as I proceeded to make art about social inequalities
with the supplies they delivered to my door. This sculpture is built out of

My bookshelf and scanner became my tools to personally reflect on my experiences.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTkzCITkWPf0usNLwt-az6OCe20GFD6GX2c2Pk5cBD3-R2CoOOD9YiDLCCo6cAQB7o7NzAjNK4G5JxKKBmYUcru2eGcJihTnNrEY3Pba2Du9jBsL27-Wtq928g3vjTTzt1rEZN15-nidw/s2048/Lily+Abram_An+Expanding+Bookshelf+1.2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1313" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTkzCITkWPf0usNLwt-az6OCe20GFD6GX2c2Pk5cBD3-R2CoOOD9YiDLCCo6cAQB7o7NzAjNK4G5JxKKBmYUcru2eGcJihTnNrEY3Pba2Du9jBsL27-Wtq928g3vjTTzt1rEZN15-nidw/w170-h265/Lily+Abram_An+Expanding+Bookshelf+1.2.jpeg" width="170" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXhd4viztCY2DSHO3ggiCeLR2xijMFD15uiv5LLQSqO6Ppqo6YzDv82EJElpKNOwY-wuYMtpciQDqsa0hfjwvXT2CtmofhTsHXD-DLQD6znHFGIJHyILY6pLLGE8zTZ1IdPMLDV01F1kE/s2048/Lily+Abram_An+Expanding+Bookshelf+3.1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1489" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXhd4viztCY2DSHO3ggiCeLR2xijMFD15uiv5LLQSqO6Ppqo6YzDv82EJElpKNOwY-wuYMtpciQDqsa0hfjwvXT2CtmofhTsHXD-DLQD6znHFGIJHyILY6pLLGE8zTZ1IdPMLDV01F1kE/w195-h267/Lily+Abram_An+Expanding+Bookshelf+3.1.jpeg" width="195" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvJo94273xEql9gRu-Co1VCdmMMiBBBTenI6GONDJQSiUmnYcSwkwDHIpY2U34R7JtJKGkR2bNDqIot6zpfiDNZuhT_er2LVIdkkUwIzVKpOgzaxBBRdsS8GDnn4M0U1as2m0t2qbpuB8/s1277/Lily+Abram_An+Expanding+Bookshelf+1.1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1000" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvJo94273xEql9gRu-Co1VCdmMMiBBBTenI6GONDJQSiUmnYcSwkwDHIpY2U34R7JtJKGkR2bNDqIot6zpfiDNZuhT_er2LVIdkkUwIzVKpOgzaxBBRdsS8GDnn4M0U1as2m0t2qbpuB8/w204-h261/Lily+Abram_An+Expanding+Bookshelf+1.1.jpg" width="204" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> An Expanding Bookshelf 1 An Expanding Bookshelf 2 An Expanding Bookshelf 3</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Kate Aries</b> - </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">https://katearies.wixsite.com/kate-aries-fine-art/lockdown-series</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Inspired by these unprecedented times, with many
of us physically isolated from friends and family, Kate has depicted imagery
that represents a communal longing for touch and connection. Though Kate's work
typically revolves around a personal female narrative, she has also tried to
consider differing experiences and perspectives. The flowers are from her daily
allowed walks at the start of lockdown, Kate was drawn to the comfort in the
blooming spring flowers, juxtaposed to the general sense of fear and gloom.
Through Pride the rainbow has come to stand for something hopeful and positive

bright multi-coloured backgrounds in reference to this, as a documentation of
this extraordinary time where now, more than ever, we need art to enhance our
connections with others and mutual understanding in our differences.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4RbRhKghMg9t5DpsgmZAgrnoS7XY8BfBjkn9uFP93jabF-yewa2z5Ifj8MsIyZs_F_Jb93BQU65rfBSMfjBsdxI2_nOPlclN91OGXeaR6a-bV5JrQqdcvUiezdpiQ9caP2l75f-bOl5Q/s1080/Kate+Aries_Lockdown+Series.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4RbRhKghMg9t5DpsgmZAgrnoS7XY8BfBjkn9uFP93jabF-yewa2z5Ifj8MsIyZs_F_Jb93BQU65rfBSMfjBsdxI2_nOPlclN91OGXeaR6a-bV5JrQqdcvUiezdpiQ9caP2l75f-bOl5Q/s320/Kate+Aries_Lockdown+Series.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Lockdown Series</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Pam Armstrong </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;">This is my new, small series of simple comic
book illustrative style work in response to my husband’s front line NHS job as
a hospital maintenance electrician in this time of Covid 19. Each illustration
shows a </span>problem and resolve scenario in the hospital,
with the character on the left needing a piece of electrical equipment
repairing and the character on the right fixing it. This character on the right
portrays my husband.</span><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">My husband’s job contributes to the health and
well-being of our community by helping to keep systems running efficiently at
the hospital. But with Covid 19, his NHS front line role has put him at great
risk of catching the deadly virus and passing it on to me. In my illustrations,
I’ve used stick figures to represent the staffs’ physical and emotional
vulnerability of Covid 19. In retrospect, in the earlier scary months of the
pandemic, he just got on with the job and he and myself did not think he was a
hero, rather cynically, he needed to work to pay the bills, but he was nervous
of Covid 19 and I was afraid. He was not bothered about receiving thank you
gifts from the public or the weekly clap for NHS, merely to dodge the virus at
work.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">However, in creating this artwork, I can see he
is appreciated. I’ve included the hearts, not for biological reasons, but as a
notion of love and support. The light bulb features in each piece and is
symbolically associated with light and darkness. The darkness is the shadow of
Covid 19, whilst the light is optimism that one day the virus will be
controlled, and we can say, “It’s fixed now”.</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRTnNP_rcH_7lvfj5reUW0MkOY4-wOp_mZ7a0nAPA7fa_w25APWRBZNnY-hJ0X-_S1H_PWyUXlZ4J072iAQkzemZ18wR9dgodqbU94_hvSOWYw-eQFxM_5yMaCT9EKMba6wzP8FVlC65o/s1127/Pam+Armstrong_It%25E2%2580%2599s+Fixed+Now+1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1127" data-original-width="743" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRTnNP_rcH_7lvfj5reUW0MkOY4-wOp_mZ7a0nAPA7fa_w25APWRBZNnY-hJ0X-_S1H_PWyUXlZ4J072iAQkzemZ18wR9dgodqbU94_hvSOWYw-eQFxM_5yMaCT9EKMba6wzP8FVlC65o/w180-h273/Pam+Armstrong_It%25E2%2580%2599s+Fixed+Now+1.jpeg" width="180" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8F68KgyBU7XDn0WFS8mBRAXpo3ZONj8EBvaeA1es9NTVJOCVWAGL3X5WReZ-Mna62xXaaqx_xi72AriIg-8aQoZy2g8MiGzXmsRNw8itFaZKXIPIBEz6DU8vj-Jv2mqrMzb6rHOH_nes/s1127/Pam+Armstrong_It%25E2%2580%2599s+Fixed+Now+2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1127" data-original-width="743" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8F68KgyBU7XDn0WFS8mBRAXpo3ZONj8EBvaeA1es9NTVJOCVWAGL3X5WReZ-Mna62xXaaqx_xi72AriIg-8aQoZy2g8MiGzXmsRNw8itFaZKXIPIBEz6DU8vj-Jv2mqrMzb6rHOH_nes/w181-h274/Pam+Armstrong_It%25E2%2580%2599s+Fixed+Now+2.jpeg" width="181" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnVU0kpb_m98-XJu6BsqAVxJxePchcrm8mtQf6HDYORBnxV8OlHiJqSK1fAO4K4qSGufSwPJf0w4CrMh3MI-TA4dL1lXHAzZVE6AfCm0kRZ0w7M2p0HJefprVFBylLMp_VM7VCHitBX1s/s1127/Pam+Armstrong_It%25E2%2580%2599s+Fixed+Now+3.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1127" data-original-width="743" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnVU0kpb_m98-XJu6BsqAVxJxePchcrm8mtQf6HDYORBnxV8OlHiJqSK1fAO4K4qSGufSwPJf0w4CrMh3MI-TA4dL1lXHAzZVE6AfCm0kRZ0w7M2p0HJefprVFBylLMp_VM7VCHitBX1s/w180-h273/Pam+Armstrong_It%25E2%2580%2599s+Fixed+Now+3.jpeg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> It's Fixed Now 1 It's Fixed Now 2 It's Fixed Now 3</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Lewis Andrews </b>- </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">www.lewisandrewsartwork.com</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c3e50;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;">

<span style="background: white;">The quarantined light series of photographs
document moments where even when it seems that we’re all separated and
isolated, we’re still connected to the delicate cycles of nature and the
cosmos.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Every day, photons of light strike the earth.
After traveling roughly 92,955,934 miles in just over 8 minutes from the
surface of the sun, this new light streams down onto my front garden and
through my windows and touches down on our walls, floors, plants or ourselves.
Providing life-giving light and heat to nourish our souls and thoughts during a
time of great uncertainty. We’re all connected to each other through these
beams of light.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Through our dear sun, unaffected by the current
situation playing out on our planet, we are still deeply connected to each
other and nature. Re-establishing a deep connection which everyone in these
times can feel at different points across the globe.</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2c3e50; line-height: 107%;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbnhqA_BMDFK4puvSC6_hQLg_wrKbXETqK6nmBagwYNoWgQ3s1AO0PSScy5vo8Y2J7DANILFXAfby3VFquQ45qyjSw1Cf0EblfrwR5Dveg6s-DCz5Wq1_1TTjz5sOWqJFylIpFpY2fx4/s2048/Lewis+Andrews_Quarantined+Light+%252310+Hope.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbnhqA_BMDFK4puvSC6_hQLg_wrKbXETqK6nmBagwYNoWgQ3s1AO0PSScy5vo8Y2J7DANILFXAfby3VFquQ45qyjSw1Cf0EblfrwR5Dveg6s-DCz5Wq1_1TTjz5sOWqJFylIpFpY2fx4/s320/Lewis+Andrews_Quarantined+Light+%252310+Hope.jpg" /></a></div></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="color: #2c3e50; font-family: verdana; font-size: small; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; font-family: verdana; font-size: small; text-align: center;">‘My friend less than a mile away can feel the same light and heat from the same sun’.</div><div style="color: #2c3e50; font-family: verdana; font-size: small; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Ariel Chavarro Avila</b> - </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">www.arielchavarroavila@outlook.es</span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #2c3e50; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">During this pandemic I have been working on a

photo of themself in response to the theme "Covid Face". They were
asked to send a photo which most expressed their face during covid. This face
was from a friend who was home educating. Even as a teacher she was finding it
a challenge sometimes. I asked her if it got better after this photo and she

protection, a barrier: a shield to keep us safe. A net curtain provides
coverage, for a home, albeit ineffective for medical purposes but acts as
unhealthy armour worn by 'curtain twitchers', to quarantine shame. As Liverpool
enters new local lockdown measures and social media is rife with various
opinions and blaming/shaming: I began thinking about the Stasi- the East German
security services whose main task tasks was spying on the population, primarily
through a vast network of citizens turned informants. Is this what we have come
to: as humans, in 2020?

He works in a variety of formats that include Pen and Ink drawings acrylic paintings on canvas wood and Mixed media objects. His creative process is a mixture of works on paper, acrylic paint, found objects and non toxic hot glue which creates a three-dimensional effect on any surface that gives a sense of realism and presence in his artwork. Darrell, refers to this optical artistic illusion as “Definism” in his opinion, Definism, portrays various differences in human nature from life’s everyday dramas to humankind’s quest to under-standing self. “My artworks transport viewers from the doldrums of their daily reality to a visual interpretation of another reality.”</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;

favourite film. The haunting music, the sense of isolation of Travis Bickle ...
It echoed strongly with me at a time when I was living in a bed-sit in
Birmingham in the mid 1970s. A similar isolation has been with us recently
which resonated with my memories of that time. I am currently fortunate in that
I am not isolated or lonely but am acutely aware that very many people are not
so fortunate. This is a digital artwork that, in part, uses my neural style
transfer system to manipulate images from the film.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial;

represents people's experience of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is not exclusive
to the experience of having Covid-19 but may also include the social
implications, such as lockdown, social distancing, and wearing masks. We’re
looking for art that captures the varied experiences of Covid-19 in the hope of
bringing people together to share their experiences.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

caring for people during the pandemic, which could be as a healthcare
professional or as a friendly volunteer. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><o:p></o:p></p>
