JCG: How has the pandemic impacted your work?\u2800<\/strong>
\n\u2800
\nRD: I feel very lucky that I am in an area where my loved ones have remained well and I have not witnessed the devastation a pandemic can cause directly. Because I am working from home & have been relatively house bound \u2014 aside from extensive dog walks, the world outside is again full of photographs. By again I mean when I am inspired it seems there are shots everywhere. Outside in the evenings it is empty & still which are two themes that I visit in my work. My work has centred around images of the natural landscape for quite some years now. I am maybe thinking of how I can bring a more urban or suburban element back into the work.\u2800
\n\u2800
\nJCG: Are you working on anything now?\u2800<\/strong>
\n\u2800
\nRD: Recently I have been working on a series looking at the idea of the spectre. I have been exploring the ghost as a time traveller & messenger that moves through past, present & future.\u2800
\n\u2800
\nI\u2019m also working on a series of \u201cPortraits of the dead\u201d. These are related more to notions of existence & non-existence, death & things a little dark & unsettling. These have not been exhibited yet & I\u2019m still working through ideas.\u2800
\n\u2800
\nSince our collective Covid experience however, I am taking a step back to respond to what is going on around me, but without the pressure of it having to \u2018be anything\u2019. So, it may go somewhere, or it may not. It is ideas of stillness that I\u2019m interested in exploring right now.\u2800
\n\u2800
\nJCG: How can we support you?<\/strong> \u2800
