JOY OF SOLITUDE BY LISA PARKYN

Lockdown gave me the time to value the joy in solitude – time away from the busy and distracting world. Created as part of ‘Delving Beneath Series’ – a body of work started during March 2020 lockdown, which has helped me make sense of the shifts going on around the world and reflect on what is meaningful in life.

Exploring the process of adding and subtracting until a balance is found. Using various methods of layering and piecing together fragments through mixed media and then scraping, sanding and peeling off – metaphorically delving deeper to discover what lies beneath and our hidden strengths. I have also tapped into my love for the unique textures that occur in nature, on weathered walls, old billboards and rusting metal – the scars of time.
