2020
Lockdown is a strange phenomenon that seems to be happening around us. The effects are palpable, yet we seem to be incapable to do much about it. To give some light relief or therapy, however you want to look at it we have been drawing everyday; to inspire, refresh, meditate. 10x10 are working across the internet to share those drawings, and now this has organically grown into a project.
The cycle lasts ten weeks, each ten days a new participant will join in and create a new cycle. The drawing is in relation to a word and the daily word is communicated to everyone via a whatsapp message, two minutes are allocated to complete drawing around that subject matter. The person responsible for the word is in rotation within the group in the cycle. It's as simple as that!
these are some if the images created through the project.
10x10
The beauty of this project was in its simplicity. The bringing together of people who wanted to draw and find solice in a time when we weren't sure how we were going to commune and wanted some thing to save us.

Digital Touch - Online exhibition at Conscious Isolation
This was recorded on the 25th of July 2020. It is the documentation of a conversation held between Q (questioner) and I (instructor) regarding their online drawing project and their ongoing identity crises. This project has formed some kind of therapeutical treatment. They are still questioning their identity. Do you?
Identity Crisis - a 20 minute video exploring identity and collaborative practice
With the demand for social distancing and self-isolation in response to Covid-19, the pandemic forces us to reconsider what it means to touch. As intimacy and contact move beyond the physical space into the digital, how do we touch beyond close proximity? What does it mean to touch and to be touched-at-a-distance? And how do such actions, permeated through technology affect communication and interaction?extract from Digital Touch
