  • Stay At Home, Save Lives, 2020

    The Stay at Home Save Lives series is part of an ongoing project that is investigating and documenting the relationship between the body and the environment of the home, through photography, printmaking, film and sound, highlighting cases of domestic violence that have risen during Covid-19 around the world. I was interested in capturing the body through the repetition of movements and impressions and visualising the impact of the body on a domestic surface such as a door. Impressions made on a glass door using grease applied onto the body and talcum powder to reveal the invisible vestiges, I was thinking about the contradicting metaphor the door presents, as a means of protection, entrapment, freedom and what that means to the many vulnerable bodies that are experiencing what has been described by the UN as a‘shadow pandemic’.
