During lockdown I was interviewed by international curator Valeria Ceregini from JournALL. We discuss the challenges of working from home during lockdown and how that has changed the scale of my practice, productivity pressure and being creative from the home studio. We explore the inspiration behind my artwork, where the text comes from, and how I am focusing on the unique ways that hopefulness comes into personal stories of hardship. I am hoping to gather people’s stories from lockdown and quarantine via my Human Archive Project.
