Joanne Horrobin
As I contemplate the work I have made in lockdown, I question whether it is a response to it, or whether my mind was already flowing in that direction?
Art for me is all about seeing things from a different angle, gaining insight from a different perspective. So, when I ponder my lockdown work, I see what is important to me, but also that which alludes me.
The two ladies, without arms are unable to symbolically do anything other than commune, time to share together without limits or distractions, and the swallows, agile in flight, bringing hope of spring after the cold dark winter.
But the vessel, my go to, where I am always drawn back to, represents a sense of wholeness to me, its humble completeness that tends to allude to human grasp.
Lockdown has given me the opportunity to slow my pace, with all the usual commitments washed aside I have been able to explore forming and fixing, seen in my work with the curves and rivets, and as I look forward to the coming months I am challenged to embrace the digital, a reluctant move out of the workshop and onto the computer, another angle to learn and develop!
