Work made as a direct response to the lockdown:
I started to write some notes about our collective situation from a personal point of view and those notes soon became similar to entries in a diary - I made one drawing per entry (for the majority of them)
Strange Days Diary
I am sharing here photographs of two entries / drawings 'London 30 March 2020' and 'London 31 March 2020'
Most drawings were made with charcoal, linseed oil, pastels, ink, black permanent marker, chalk and ink pen on recycled 'Khadi' handmade cotton rag paper - diameter: 30cm
