However the colour change happened since the COVID-19 lockdown, now this is an image of longing for me, the wonderful memories of last summer cycling the Sumida (and Arakawa). I had planned to return to Tokyo after the 2020 Olympics and I have no idea if that will ever be now. Everything has changed, what was so normal; a group enjoying a lunch together on a beautiful day is now taboo. We cannot gather in groups anymore.
I have washed out all the background colour meaning the tree now takes on the shape of an atomic explosion. None of us were aware at that time how fast a novel virus would hit us and spread throughout the world making normal the abnormal as we sit locked in our homes.

Tina Lane is a British visual artist who works with installation, sculpture, photography, media, and performance in her interdisciplinary art practice. His projects evolve in response to the needs of the site, working in collaboration and communication with people, places, and psychology.
At the moment, her work is focused on human relationships, identity, memory, and mortality. She strives to address, rather than resolve, the uncertainty of fitting into established systems and patterns of thought through her art. It's satiating a basic want to communicate non-verbally and visually by making the art as inclusive and engaging as possible, without regard for language. Visualizing inarticulate brains functioning via material and performative processes demonstrates this investigation of the 'gut feeling' or 'instinct,' and enables creative mobility.
Tina Lane received a BA (Hons) First in Fine Art from Southampton Solent University, where she was awarded the CVAN SE Platform Graduate Award by Aspex Gallery and Solent Showcase Gallery for Best of Degree Shows in 2015. Following that, she took residencies in India and Japan. In 2018, she earned a Distinction in her MA in Fine Art from Winchester School of Art.
