The Summer of 2020 is one I think we will all remember, but for myself, it is definitely not for the usual Summer holidays.
At the start of lock down, way back in early Spring (which to me feels forever ago…) I was invited to be included in two separate exhibitions, both focusing on Fashion Illustration. These wonderful opportunities gave me a creative outlet and focus, which in hindsight helped me focus on something beyond that madness of 2020. And perhaps most importantly two deadlines – and I now know there is nothing quite as effective as an exhibition deadline to keep a creative on track.
I kept a record of my works in progress on my Instagram throughout lock down and I shared the final pieces. Some of which then headed off to Europe, and were shown next to some wonderful illustrators.
Despite all the huge restrictions and obstacles both Fashion Illustration exhibitions were a success. New pieces were created, shipped and then sold. And under such restricted circumstances I think if makes it all the more fulfilling for everyone involved
I worked on my largest scale pieces for Haze – and loved it. Mixing my techniques and allowing things to just happen. I worked with ink and spray paint to recreate some of Jil Sanders SS2020 collection.
