Everyday Actions Series, ongoing
Everyday Actions are personal and activist works based on our psychological coping. Informed by my parallel career as a research psychologist and by feminist artists and writers they are based on the mindset beautifully stated by athlete & civil rights activist Arthur Ashe - 'Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can'.

This work was made responding to the huge difficulties of balancing work and home-schooling in the UK Covid pandemic lockdown of in 2021. The work was inspired by Robert Payton's book ‘Do Pause’ where I decided to practice daily re-set, creative moments whilst doing the work needed in the home as a way of coping with the overwhelming responsibilities that I had at that time. #pausefromchores Digital C-Type Print, A4 on Fuji Matt, edition of 30 & 1 A/P
