I started the project for myself, as a disciplined practice to document my days, throughout the Covid-19 lockdown of New Zealand in 2020. I was curious to see if I could visually express my feelings daily.
The sharing started as an accountability and a commitment but little did I know how the feedback I received would inspire me. I realised my art was a creative way of caring in the community. Even though it was online, there was such a strong sense of connection and kindness.
Gratitude became the focus of most of my days. Our Autumn walks and noticing nature. Simple pleasures and family values. Reminiscent of childhood delights. Suddenly there was more time for the things that mattered most.
