noun
A feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement

In light of the pandemic my work this year has been heavily influenced by the news and the impact that Covid has had on us as people. It spans a multitude of mediums, including digital drawings, illustrations and screen prints. I have been exploring the subject of boredom in my most recent work, which is a theme that has naturally developed through speaking to people in my neighbourhood and learning of their experiences during the various lockdowns. I wanted to create art that represented the feeling of isolation which was one of the few things that united us during such unique times.
