Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 'Hawez' and 'Nah Man' are largely based on the same titled 'Hawez, Nah Man!' diptych from 2020. I chose to refashion a study from this canvas for AOAP as when I think of post cards I think of travel and contacting loved ones. Both of these delights were curtailed in 2020 due to Covid 19. 'Hawez, Nah Man' was in my solo show 'We didn't start the fire' at VOLT, Eastbourne that year. The show was extended for two months but only physically open for a week due to two national lockdowns. Although a very limited number of people were able to see the work IRL prints of which sold quickly through the Artist Support Pledge and enabled me to connect with people again virtually and physically whilst queuing for/posting the items.
