In March 2020 lockdown was announced in the UK.

We are happy to announce that in October 2020, Mackenzie released his new book chronicling his journey through lockdown.

“Like everyone else, I started working from home. Using the kitchen table, as opposed to my usual studio, forced me to paint much smaller; dusty pastels were replaced with acrylic paint and watercolours, and from day one I painted every single day.

In the beginning I was diligent about trying to chronicle the days, but then the days turned into weeks before stretching into months, until eventually I lost track of time altogether and just settled into my own little routine.

This personal journal is not intended as a commentary of anything other than my own emotions and thoughts during this weird period, however I hope most people will relate to parts, if not all of it. This book is a visual chronicle of my own journey through these very strange times”  Mackenzie Thorpe
