As the first lockdown came into force, I found myself without the comforts of studio or university, and with a minimum of time around homeschooling and, simply, managing. This series of works were made in light of those restrictions, and composed on the only ground available – a set of Hahnemühle German Etching papers obtained before March 2020. These dictated the uniform size of the series (each sheet of Hahnemühle is 108cm wide), with the thematic core – a response to the visual language of Folk Horror – rising from an ongoing fascination with place, boundaries and the tension between folkloric belief and the emergence of the 20th century.
