Covid-19

What does an artist do during lockdown for the Corona Virus? Firstly, I catch Covid-19, stay in bed for a week and then spend at least another week recovering. I might as well get it over and done with quickly. Secondly, I make the biggest sculpture I’ve ever made. I thought it would be a good idea to make a big colourful rainbow as a shout out to all the key workers for continuing their hard work throughout the Corona Virus. Hopefully it will prompt a few smiles around the estate. I added the crystals to create some extra little dancing rainbows and I’m delighted to report that it works. Not a bad creation from some old jeans, old pipe and garden canes!

I like seeing the stitching and pockets from the jeans here and there.

I love the little dancing rainbows that the crystals create.

This is how the rainbow started.
