The pandemic continued to challenge everyone for far longer than anyone imagined. My artwork was mostly responsive - a few commissions, a research project painting hallucinatory experiences and one or two art courses. Eventually Cambridge School of Art agreed to host an exhibition for the students who graduated in 2020 or 2021 deprived of their final shows. The only stipulation was that the work on show was not degree work but NEW! This challenged me to create a series of new works based on previous images of the Dordogne village of Saint-Emilion. I still could not go there, but I could remember - and I embarked on a series of paintings reflecting on the natural abstraction created by ancient glass - just as time and events abstract the memories of past events.
