Wish You Were Here in Pink with Eye Ball Fish

Video and mixed media, w 150 x h 150, 2023

This work began during the stop-start-stasis of COVID-19, transforming the isolation and gruelling continuation of the pandemic into a mesmerising carnival of ghostly silhouettes. Within colliding and overlapping media—video, collage and hand drawing - multiple figures attempt to travel yet go nowhere. The work visualises the often unseen, monotonous, and highly gendered care work. The repetitive rhythms and endless loops evoke the milieu of domestic labour and the intertwined states of endurance and exhaustion. Through the work’s non-specific locations, elusive temporal registers, the piece visualizes the often unseen and gruelling aspects of care work in a hypnotic and lurid cycle highlighting the multidimensional nature of experience creating an absurd yet uplifting work
