Waking me at night was a list of COVID-19 related words, I wrote them down. I was not sure why, but I wanted to utilise these into an artwork about this current time. Perhaps I was trying to find order among the disorder in current lives.  My choice of medium was slices of emerald green anodised aluminium waste from a JCU building, all slightly different extrusions and shapes and combine this with jewellery materials like silver and titanium to tell a story of our time. The artwork echoes my view of what is going on in the world in 2020 and our individual capacity to cope in this time of crisis.
