During Lockdown it feels like time has unravelled. For many, our daily organised routines have been dismantled as we have been released from the metronomic ticking of the clock. Our lives have slowed down, the deadlines have gone and the divisions of the day have become fluid. I feel there is a new sense of time and, in parts, I’m enjoying this freedom and hope to take a piece of this into the new ‘normal’.

Submerged
Patience is a virtue - after waiting 3 months my submerged landscapes are ready. I wanted to see what would happen if I left my Polaroids in a vat of water for three months, adding a little bleach at various intervals - I was not disappointed, my landscapes have become unpredicatable ‘other worldly places’, altering reality and taking on a new identity. Surreal and bizarre, bringing out colours that originally could not be seen. Each one showcases the unique properties of the chemical emulsions.
