Lethargy

As with many I have found this period of lockdown hard. At times I find it hard to focus and at others I feel like a mass lethargy is washing over me like waves on the beach.
I’m also feeling a lot of guilt, guilt over not producing work I know this sounds crazy as i seem to be extremely productive but some times I feel I could do more. Guilt for not spending time with my daughter at times we are shuffling round the house the only time we come together is for meals
And finally guilt for not reading, I have all these books I’m dipping in and out of but they are not really satisfying my thirst for knowledge
The only book that has grabbed my attention is Self Portrait the eyes within by William Mitchell. Some of my Salford University friends will know if him for the totemic concrete sculptures the Minute Men. This book is an honest account by the artist, talking about his life and work practice. I have found it easy going and chocked full of information on how to create sculptural pieces out of concrete.
In these times easy reading is all that seems to satisfy the soul
