A global commentary on Covid-19, the installation incorporates attributes of outbreak, anxiety, restriction of movement, and isolation, and highlights the strains and dangers faced by NHS and key-workers, emergency services, delivery and supermarket workers, businesses, the self-employed and the claustrophobia the general public feel being asked to stay at home.

In this instance, a pre-existing loaned inflatable from Megaflatables of a Teddy Bear - often seen as a symbol of innocence and comfort - has been installed, which references the global Teddy Bear Hunt, against Pantone 300 background, the signature colour of the NHS, acting as a symbol of hope.

At full capacity the inflatable is twice the size of the interior, creating a visual illusion as the work expands to what seems like a bursting point and then deflates - an oversized visual representation of the anxious breath - holding and hopeful anticipation that we have been experiencing as a society.

Inflating & deflating within each hour, the motion magnifies the restrictive nature of the space while keeping viewers engaged.

Ritsurin Gardens, Japan

For this residency my work was focused on what happens when the clarification of a word gets lost in translation. Traditionally one brings a gift of a 'rock' to a Japanese garden, however in this case the ‘rock’ in question was a traditional rock shop from Margate.

This light hearted piece was received very well, the juxtaposition of the beautiful Japanese garden and the bright rock shop allowing the humour of the work to be clearly communicated.
