The mind sets out on its travels

Picture
According to the government's categorisation, this is NOT a vulnerable child and NOT the child of an essential worker. This child may not go to school.

So, as he stays indoors, this becomes a portrait of a child forming his social consciousness about the way in which people are treated and the language used about them. There will be consequences.

I began a sketch of a man burning his shed on the allotment. But then I met my friend, started swearing about the way things were, and decided to go home and sketch out something of his anger about the harm done by politics and religion.

In a way, this becomes a picture of a man burning down his shed. He'd wanted to bequeath it, but he'd been told to get rid of it. There will be consequences.
