During lockdown, it often felt like I was living under water. It was very difficult at times the isolation, the ever present fear of not knowing. I had papercircle.org. a fully functioning paper studio with all the equipment and materials one would need. I believe to be an artist one has to perform their craft. To forget as much as possible the critic that is ever present in our minds, judging and stopping us from working. I say continue to produce and the hell with the critic. I survived and as it turns out well. I had the saving grace of my work. There is always a way out if you want it. Or in this case a way up to the air and light of another day. Make art
