Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
During the first lockdown in March I found myself with a lot of spare time on my hands. I had previously created a large-scale painting for the final year of my degree and had wanted to do another one but never quite had the time for it. I wanted to create something that was a visual archive for the things that happened in my life in the previous year and during the first months of 2020.

How was the illustration used:
Personal project that acts as a lead for portfolio submissions.

How did you make this work:
As a kind of diary, I turned lists into scenes and situated them within the florals and the geometric structure that underpins the whole composition. Each segment works on its own but is also part of a larger puzzle that makes up the entire illustration. The original is painted with acrylic paints and is nearly 2m tall.
