Field

BY JEMIMA YONG


_FIELD_ is a series of photographs of a single public green during the Covid-19 lockdown and made from my bedroom window. I began making the photographs as a way of creating in isolation. I continued as I wanted to chronicle how the public space was being shared, the physical impact of new social measures and the variety of activities that now take place outside.
