Sunday 6 December 2020
Park Royal Hotel, Tullamarine
Rooms 505 & 506
My fifteen-year-old son returned from a school exchange in the USA, requiring quarantining. The day after our completion of a very hard, secure lock-in, Melbourne began it's 'public' quarantining program across other hotels in the city.
This is the visual documentation of this time where my son and I became reacquainted and the necessary routine of exercise, eating, entertaining, and creativity to help us sanely and healthily pass our 12 days.

| 12 Blocks of randomly cut clay & no more! One block per day for the entirety of this quarantine. |

...folding my fingers through my son's hair after so long

...a vessel for breathing, imaging fresh air
...a day spent in my head after a night of heavy, confusing dreams
Day 4
...looping, swirling, doodling with coils
...remembering kangaroo grass & other things
...it seems right to make a cloud today
...a special portrait request
...remembering being with trees
...topsy turvy...a bad day
...a vessel for grounding & tethering to earth
...conjuring a surmountable mountain
Day 12
...to never live in a room full of rectangles again
