Life interrupted by Covid-19 has meant that streams of thought from my previous paintings have been interrupted and shifted. On the first day of lockdown in the UK in 2020, I found myself unsettled, fragmented, and unsure about how to proceed. The paintings I had been working steadily on were on the other side of London and our loft had become a computer station. I spent half the day creating a home painting space and then managed to produce ‘Covid-19 Isolation (Day 1)’, (2020).

Why do we remember the past and not the future? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us?’
- The Order of Time, Carlo Rovelli.
