Online programme exploring creativity and wellbeing with Lumen Studios

25th March - 22nd July 2021

A series of monthly meetings and a discussion group with the aim of allowing artists to connect after a year of restrictions. We talked about how the pandemic has affected our working practices, and sharing the different self care routines employed to help us all cope with the anxieties caused by the pandemic and resulting social isolation. One of the key elements that came up repeatedly throughout this programme was the importance of nature in helping to maintain mental health, the importance of biodiversity and maintaining our environment through sustainable working practices.

Below are some of the images of wildflowers and plants I recorded as a visual diary of walks in my local parks and my garden during this period.
