Postcards from Lockdown
During lockdown in 2020 I responded at home to the craziness of the covid situation and disturbing coverage of events in the news. My series of "Postcards from Lockdown" uses monotype and collage, combined with found poetry from news and media headlines – to engage with experiences of isolation, loneliness, fear, grief, and making the best of technology to make up for our loss of human connection and touch.
