Statement: This work investigates the transformative impact of social isolation. Like many others, the artist has lived alone during the pandemic, with only the sun for physical company during most of lockdown. Using bisque-fired porcelain tiles placed throughout her living space and chemicals which turn blue in sunlight, the artist has created a permanent record of this companionship. The number of tiles (459) reflects the number of days of lockdown in Scotland from March 2020 to June 2021.
