Since April 2020, in the depths of lockdown, I have been drawing birds on request, and drawings became prints. To promote them, I began to "gently reference" the birds I'd drawn in a series of "fashion" spreads. These humorous and light-hearted shoots used my own wardrobe and makeup skills and became an intrinsic component of a project that has become known as Birds Can Fly.
As soon as the lockdown in the UK was announced and in the face of cancellations and delays of most of my forthcoming work, I was bereft of motivation. I felt I had to reconsider my function as an artist during a global pandemic. Housebound and feeling emotionally blank and overwhelmed, I began to consider what work would be relevant to a changed world.
