When Backwater Studios closed during 1st Lockdown 2020, i began a series of still lifes at home. As a mainly figuretive artist, this was a new departure for me , which led me down a whole new path in my practice. I set myself a goal to do a drawing a day during the 1st Lockdown and continued this throughout the subsequent seemingly endless Lockdowns that followed. My drawings of beetroots the first of many.
