Covid in Colour

Covid in Colour is a collection of my first month of scribbles extracted from the period pre, during and post my Covid19 infection in 2021. It illustrates my Covid19 infection journey over 32 days through line and colour.

One week into my daily exploration of Scribble Meditation I started developing flu-like symptoms which lead me to quarantine. When my symptoms didn’t improve, I got tested for Covid.…and tested positive.

In spite of this, I continued to scribble daily. I told myself that no matter how sick I got if I could hold a pen in my hand I would do my daily scribble. This gave me a focus during this uncertain and unknown experience. It also allowed an activity that kept me present and stopped me from overthinking my situation. The silence and stillness of isolation created a cocoon that allowed me to explore this process without restriction, judgement or aim.

Covid was hard but I survived and managed to keep my promise of my daily scribble.

These 32 Scribbles gives a different perspective on a virus that has changed our lives forever.
