Living in London during the lockdown I started to yearn for wide open spaces and horizons. I noticed that the horizon was becoming a feature of my paintings, a sort of internal horizon perhaps. Sometimes when these seemed less available to me, I worked on the veiled paintings, where the sense of a distant horizon is foreclosed.  In these lockdown paintings colour and texture became subjects in their own right. I feel the paintings work with the theme of the everyone plus everything festival as they show how creativity is a part of resilience in difficult times.
