EXTRAORDINARY POSTCARDS
FOR EXTRAORDINARY TIMES

I walked many parts of the local S.W. coast path during lockdown. These images are in my mind. Collected bits of china in the fields too!

In the days of self isolation I did a drawing each day, of postcard size

I salvaged this door from a local street

Our first big trip out after lockdown

Realised how urgent the ecological crisis is

Shielding not travelling

This quote from Leonard Cohen seemed entirely appropriate for this series produced in lockdown. These were the beginning.

Study in pencil and water colour for a still life of plastic spheres and horses with furze stems.

This says it all!

Rescue ferret Quinty ran across some wet cement in 2016. In 2017 she had 10 babies and I wrote a book about it. 2018 the footprints were wearing away. 2019 I moulded them and cast resin into the mould to make an exact copy painted with enamel. Finally in 2020 I covered the back with beads, in my usual style.

Lockdown gave me the time to enjoy my garden and grow beans for the first time!

I was intrigued by how people worked on their gardens and homes as they had a lot more time in their homes during lockdown. The platform was one of these improvements

Dad has Alzheimer’s and COPD. Social Care stopped in April

I used some materials in the studio found before lockdown to make a major new piece of work

Written in the Traditional Japanese form of Haibun (Prose paragraphs & Haiku)

On the 18th March I took my Dad to his hospital appointment. On the way home we usually stopped for a coffee but because he was no longer allowed to, we got a takeaway coffee at Portreath and sat and watched the storm coming. We didn’t know what the future held.
