Drawing with ink and rainwater, in the confined space of walking my garden during lockdown, led me to travel in my imagination from a small garden puddle to a landscape of possibilities and a wider elemental exploration of place, of land and sea, earth and water. As I tried to contain, trace around and rescue inky edges from disappearing into the page, an imaginary world appeared. Mapping the same area repeatedly over a period of time, each Puddle World drawing shows slight shifts of boundaries and borders, echoing the impact of political and climate change. No longer able to continue my long-distance journeys, drawing along the way, I instead turned to the ground of my garden, finding in it a wider space to roam that stretched beyond its physical and material boundaries.
