Lockdown Diaries #4

Jenny Bowden has been busy with her creative practice during the lock down, here’s what she has to say about her working process during this difficult time. 

“During Covid I have been struggling to keep a sense of personal creativity going as we are in lock down with my 96 year old Mum. I started keeping a ‘diary’  in  the form of Haiku or ‘moment poems’ with little sketches and ideas, things that seemed important in the midst of chaos.

I don’t have a press at home so I began to cut up old prints and collage them into ‘new landscapes’, all are empty of people and are mixes of different places I have been to or know well but they feel slightly eerie. They are places I have been yearning for.
