Float was created during the forced isolation of the Covid 19 lockdown when the issues of both being out of control of one’s own daily life and the compulsion to maintain in control was and is a daily struggle.
My line of vision shifted from the eye level landscape transformed by the pandemic to the open skies and the constant movement of clouds. The distant view, towards the horizon and upwards to space transports us from the close detail of real danger and uncertainty to beauty and a sense of freedom. The physical and emotional connection with the natural world brought a new sense of what is it like to be a creative individual, to be one sentient being in relation to the vastness of the atmosphere surrounding our planet.
