"Uncover"
One of a kind, 50cm hand-burnt wooden mandala, created using a pyrography tool with painted acrylic highlights.
Created over 70 hours of burning dots during the 2020 COVID-19 Lockdown. The name comes from the origin of the word apocalypse, which originates from the words "to uncover". An uncovering seemed like a perfect representation of some of my experiences in quarantine; an emotional rollercoaster, with more time with myself, stripped back from social validations and mental distractions. It's been a time for lots of us to be with ourselves more and to deal with whatever emerges from the shadows. Confronting, but a gift too. As we take time to uncover what we have hidden under our busy-doing lives, shed the unneeded layers, and make some space for a new way of being.
