Lockdown is such a strange concept, the idea that we are safer when secluded and apart. Home - Suddenly echoes with historic associations of fortification, fortress and barricade. What I cannot yet fully understand despite so much tragedy alongside us, is that my creativity has suddenly flown free like a bird through a window. For my night work, I normally drive to a scenic spot, often with a friend. We set up, drink hot tea from flasks, watch a lovely sunset then get to work on the stars.
