2. I think you missed, 2020 digital painting
My series explores the connections and contrasts between the ideas of communication and isolation. Like many others during this past year, I have struggled with feelings of loneliness and isolation during quarantine, and it was these feelings, and the difficulties of connecting with others that come with them, that I drew on for these works. My pieces are all done digitally, a reflection of how the computer itself has been a source of conflict during quarantine, offering both connection to the outside world and complete isolation from it.
The series features a main character who moves through a distorted, flooded world, unable to use the many phone booths dotted around the scenery or talk with the few shadow-people around. In 4. Radio silence? we can see that it is...difficult to use the phone booths, and in 6. The next stop... and 7. Brought it back we can see the world starting to flood around the character. The character’s journey through this place is also evident in the color palette, which starts out lighter and vibrant, becomes gradually darker, and finally lightens up again. In a way it represents my own struggles during lockdown as well; we’re finally reaching the light at the end of this tunnel.
