Artist's statement: The hardest thing during lockdown for my 4-year-old daughter Isobel was that she missed being read stories by her grandma, so every few nights her grandma read her a bedtime story via a video call until she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of when they will meet again. They have such a close bond so it was really lovely to see that they could still connect during lockdown, as they missed each other so much.
