When the World Stood Still – London Lockdown 2020 (2021)

sketch on 9 lime wood panels, 15x15cm each

I am interested in the profound difference between a birds eye view or map of a landscape and how it contextualises our relationship to the world around us. Whereas the traditional European tradition from icons and the Renaissance is window on the world which de-contextualises and abstracts the subject from what lies beyond the frame of the canvas.

In order to visualise humans as a part of nature and in relationship with non-human species I am interested in creating paintings that have a birds eye view.
