To date, my dealings with the internet have been reserved for Facebook and Instagram, how ironic that during this period of lockdown I'm about to launch my work and thoughts for all to see. Why am I doing this? In theory it's for tutors to see work in progress during this period of isolation, but it's becoming a work in progress in itself, one of those things you know you need to do but always find an excuse..... I find it challenging to type my thoughts, pen and paper are my preferred tools, emotions much easier to convey, and harder to erase. I over-consider what I type, rehearse it over and over, and in the process the immediacy is lost. Maybe it would be better to reproduce pages from the sketchbooks, but the intimacy there is lost too. Similar to my practice, the question I'm finding increasingly interesting is how can you replicate an intimate dialogue between work and viewer on an online platform? As with all of us at the moment, it is what it is and will take time to resolve, if indeed it can.
