DescriptionClaudia studied BA Drawing at Camberwell College of Arts. She says:
'The global pandemic has meant a distance between homes is enforced, and not a choice. The idle time has created a void filled with longing, seeking out the lost parts of myself split across boundaries. So much communication and interaction displaced online, the act of being human started to feel bound with 1s and 0s. The familiarity of walking through the landscape provides a quietening of the mind; found in the observation of mundanities often flattened behind the screen.
Although my home of Cornwall cannot be visited, I imagine it whilst walking the same distance, where I find myself in London. The blue of the sky here matches the blue of the sea there, and is a good break away from the blue of the backlit display. Days exist as a tangible product of labour, within the accumulation of aches, colours, distance, ecology, enduring tiredness, folklore, geology, history, and sounds, seemed to calm my head of the complexities faced. Footsteps meditating on home and mediating the disparity between our digital, physical and virtual existences, these field notes draw us on a journey through the English landscape towards a greater sense of connection.'
