"Restricted" Online Exhibition

 Responding to an Open Call by the recently created Correspondance Collective on the theme of "Restrictions" marking the anniversary of the first lockdown in England, the call asked artists to create miniature works reflecting on the theme. These miniature were to fit in very small compartments of an old press drawers.

I conceived 4 small boxes containing 3 scrolls each. Each scroll is an image where I explore ideas, feelings and emotions around the theme (see them at the end of this post).

The boxes were alocated to specific niches in the drawers:

TRAY - 8

TRAY - 9
