My image shows the mental state I was in during quarantine and how it affected me. Not being able to see the busy streets left me with nothing to look forward to. I wasn’t bothered to clean. I didn’t use this time alone to learn new skills. Instead I procrastinated. There is a cover overContinue reading “My Quarantine Life”

Hope and Friendship after Lockdown
The digital art piece that I have created is a representation of how there is hope of a happier and healthier time to come. As lockdown restrictions are lifted we can move forward to a future where we feel less isolated and lonely and can re-unite with our friends, families and people we care about.Continue reading “Hope and Friendship after Lockdown”
Two Metres Apart but Never Closer
I was able to see my two best friends who are brother and sister from the car 2 metres away in weeks; I wished to recreate this moment to look back on in the future and capture that there can be happiness in these difficult times, I wanted to keep the car window, mirror andContinue reading “Two Metres Apart but Never Closer”
Distance
My artwork shows two shops opening for the first time since the start of the lockdown. I wanted my drawing to show society returning to some altered sense of normality, whilst still hinting at the profound effect that Coronavirus has had on the country. The two people in the drawing are acknowledging each other whileContinue reading “Distance”
The Ballerina Inside the Globe
‘The Ballerina Inside the Globe’ is representative towards everyday behaviour people may have after the pandemic . Changes consisting of being more cautious when on public transport or in crowds; some people might still wear masks due to paranoia over another virus developing. The ballerina is holding the earth in her right hand which signifiesContinue reading “The Ballerina Inside the Globe”
Isolation
Lockdown made me feel very disconnected from my normal life. I am used to exploring new places and constantly being outside, and this is what I wanted to portray through my imagery. The camera being set up in the same location for all fifteen photographs represents being in the same environment continually throughout lockdown, myselfContinue reading “Isolation”
Sycophant
I explored the idea that Trump’s considered toxicity may be leaking into the UK (Boris’ mouth) as a result of their close friendship that seems to be blossoming. I read a few articles that said they talk every fortnight and communicate using personal phone numbers which leads me to question the nature of their relationship and their levels of professionalism. Both Trump and Boris appear toContinue reading “Sycophant”
Change
The ideas behind this piece were inspired by the current events that are taking place during lockdown. The concept shows the earth with different images in different places. America shows a black man being shot at by what should be assumed to be a police officer. The image depicts the man as clearly holding hisContinue reading “Change”
Confection
Inspired by daily life under lockdown, my piece was completed in colouring pencil on mount board. Under the confines of domesticity, many have taken to baking as a way to pass the time. While turning to confectionery during this pandemic may be viewed as a silver lining of isolation to some, others may interpret thisContinue reading “Confection”
No Guidelines Needed
The idea was that life will go back to normal and for some people life didn’t change much. Isolation is no different to some people’s regular going abouts. There was no real creative influence I just like doing digital collages and some elements of this piece were a nice challenge. Jacob – Chester-Le Street Media: Photoshop
