connecting with memories and archival materials to create new work whilst in lockdown. I’ve been feeling stuck for a little while and this one memory has been niggling at the forefront for some time. I’ve worked to create around this memory many times before and until now it hasn’t felt resolved 🙌🏼 feeling fresh and grateful for this opportunity to work without distraction or other responsibilities while our world is on hold 🙏🏼 very much aware of my privilege.
Just last week, for the first time, I was taken back by the observation of peer at my “very traditional upbringing”. For someone who finds ‘normal’ quite jarring this has me in quite a reflective headspace.
Reconciling the perception of conventional with the reality of dysfunction and trauma… which of course means there’s much more work to come ⏳
