Rubber panels were laid across the artist’s bedroom floor for the duration of “lockdown lite”, continuing into the harsher lockdown that extended into 2021. Forced to confront, interact and walk across them on a daily basis the works also physically documented and recorded the time period.

The movements, missteps and marks all being visible in the rubbers surface.

Each work is 23cm x 50cm – mixed medium on rubber.
