The memorable Covid 19 Lockdown is already more than 12 months in our past. We have lived through it. We always experience things to the background ticking of the clock.
The Watching Autumn pictures displayed here were done during my enforced time at home, from the safety of our bubble, and chart the course of the goldening month as it showed itself in our garden.

The larger watercolour works on canvas board have titles taken from the names of some of Calvino’s Invisible Cities, although to me they also resemble pixelated close-ups of unidentifiable objects, QR codes, computer viruses, or an early form of 20th-century abstract paintings.
The smaller works, including the drawings, contain the dotted and continuous lineal motifs that I have used in previous work. The lines connect disparate and isolated shapes that work to make visible the previously unseen – a Klingon ship throwing off its cloaking device.
