Hiding

By Jenny Mellings 2020
This is another work in the ongoing 'Covid Blue' series that are being made under (and for some time after) lockdown and isolation in South Somerset. Alongside prints/paintings on other formats, this is one of a run of roughly A4 sized print/paintings that are cyanotypes, many of which are painted with pigment such as lapis lazuli or watercolour. They relate to the ongoing situation of Covid 19 and this is based on a bunker found on a local walk.

This is a painting of two layers relating to the experience and limitations of communication via Skype. The shadowy 'figure' is trapped behind a screen, obscured by the pointillist/divisionist dots of light. The colours suggest a nocturnal view, dominated by orange, which reflects of the ubiquitous colouring of the sodium vapour streetlamp.
