I’ve been trying to stay inspired during this pandemic but it has been a struggle. Most of the projects and events I had been working towards have all halted so it’s been up to me to stay motivated. I love being busy, working with clients and leading workshops so I have missed that hugely. I’ve tried to tap in to my process, experimenting with materials and creating artworks that represent my mood. The commissions I’ve had at this time have kept me going. I’ve enjoyed being able to get lost in making whilst my head has been unsettled. I’ve always found my craft very calming.
