“I was very proud to see my exhibition of local artists ‘meraki’ open at Creativ . Spaces last night.
As a follow on from my ‘Buddy’ series - where I captured 60 children socially distanced with their comfort toys, this latest project captures artists in their studio spaces.
The pandemic has hit everyone on so many levels - be it emotionally, financially or wellbeing. The creative industry especially has struggled through this difficult period. Much like the comfort toys of the children, artists seek solace and reassurance in ‘making art.’
Through a series of photographic portraits I wanted to capture the artists in their ‘creative spaces’ -
in the space they love - that feels safe, that reflects creativity and resilience through every mark made on canvas or clay.
Raising funds for #mindcharity.”
