I have been observing the precautions which are being in Edinburgh to help combat the coronavirus and how regulations have been enforced and followed. I was sad to see the queue into a nursery was marked out in such a way as to encourage the distancing of children from each other on their arrival to school.

It made me realise how children are growing up in such a different world; hostile, distant and forcefully structured and disheartened to think that they don’t have the freedom I had as a child their age, how clueless they must be- and yet how acceptant they have to be.

Perhaps I could incorporate more of a focus on distancing and alienation in my work- maybe literally showing  two metre rules in my work by the spacing out of objects.
