artist <\/a>made the artwork in the height of lockdown and as he could not travel to the places where Bront\u00eb lived turned to the public and asked them to send snippets of nature from her grave or former house such as soil, feathers and flowers via post.<\/p>\nMany of the samples of soil sent to Malcolm managed to make it to the final piece, which stands as a collection of three miniature drypoint landscapes (woods\/moor\/sea) printed onto embossed paper.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAwards are great, but they\u2019re not the reason I make art.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you make art you\u2019re never in it for the money or awards. Often in art, in particular during the pandemic, you\u2019re working in the dark and so, there\u2019s nobody to critique what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, in a sense, the award validates the work, it\u2019s somebody saying \u2018I like what you\u2019re doing\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe exhibition recognised the fact that it was a very technical piece and they really liked the idea behind it.<\/p>\n
“What I attempted to do was to bring people together through art and use the virus as a means of doing so. As a way of making people realise culture carries on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Malcolm said the pandemic had a mixed influence on him as an artist: it has been the main driving force behind his work this year, but he has had legitimate concerns both as a father and a diabetic.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs artists all we are is cyphers for what people are feeling around us and what it means to be human at any given point in time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could draw butterflies and pretty pictures, but that\u2019s just not where I am at.<\/p>\n
“This year has seen some of my best work. It\u2019s been [the pandemic] inspirational as an artist, but that doesn\u2019t mean it is a good thing.<\/p>\n
“War can be inspirational for artists, but nobody wants war.\u201d<\/p>\n
Act On will tour across Europe as part of the national Library of Catalonia, Barcelona. Duffin\u2019s next work will be again reference Covid-19.<\/p>\n
However, he is hoping it will be the mark of a new dawn and at a point where he can draw a line in the sand of the Coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
