Here is my little contribution towards Pluid: The National Comfort Blanket-an incredible initiative by Claire Halpin and Madeleine Hellier. The brief was to produce a piece of work 15cm x 15cm, of something that gave comfort during the pandemic, with an explanation of the work. This is mine:
‘During the first six months of the pandemic I found myself looking out of my windows-a lot. In the mornings between 10am and 2pm if the sun is shining, it makes the window box shadows flow as the breeze travels through the plants, and clouds pass. The string of heart-shaped fairy lights, that I attached to the handle of the window in March 2020 in memory of those who had passed away, casts another beautiful shadow. I still take great comfort in this teeny slice of unpredictable beauty, projected straight into my sitting room, just for me.’
