Pathways/Cosán

My practice uses a range of different techniques, materials, research and approaches to process. It deals with mental health concerns and well-being affected by the surrounding environment. This series of work centres on gathered research from people living through a lockdown and the experiences they faced. It portrays the positive and negative aspects that arise from an insular environment and its tendency to turn toxic. The work is a combination of photography, silk screen, etching, painting and film which form humanized cocoons held in protective netting, suspended in space. My aim was to create a body of work which dealt with lockdown in an inconspicuous manner, that evokes emotion and intrigue.
