Kaleidoscope | Online Exhibition 2020

I created a series of three pieces based around the word ‘Kaleidoscope’ and inspired by the landscape around me. The pieces are not meant to be shown together. They are separate works in their own right but the inspiration for each was the same. 

The landscape around me is a kaleidoscope of changing colours and beautiful forms. This landscape, like a kaleidoscope, is changing constantly. A kaleidoscope can symbolise an escape from difficult times. I embraced this project as a means to move into a world of brightness and positivity by changing and mixing the landscape forms around me and exaggerating the colours as an antithesis of what seemed to be very dark times.
