During lockdown I’ve felt very creative which I know is the opposite to many artists. But for some reason I’ve been compelled to paint, print and make a few textile pieces despite the fact I don’t have anything particularly on the horizon to work towards.
Using the current theme of this strange time, I’ve made a few rug hooked rainbows which I’ve been selling on Instagram as part of the artist support pledge initiative, set up by Matthew Burrows. This is a global movement where artists can sell work for no more than £200 and each time they make £1000 they pledge to buy another artist’s work for £200. It’s grown and grown and has been fantastic for making new connections and sales.
