Commissioned for Socially Distanced Yet Creatively Connected, an exhibition in response to the global pandemic and inspired by our collective experience of lockdown.

Artist’s statement:

When Covid struck everyone and everything was forced to slowdown and stop.

I found myself going for daily walks in parks and my neighbourhood, something I never did before Covid hit.

I became aware of so much beauty around me nature offered, the colours and shapes of flowers and trees, leaves and vines. On one of my many walks, I noted Heliconia flowers growing in an elder gentleman’s little glasshouse which inspired this work.
