Me Myself and I: A Whimsical Look at Life In Lockdown

From the series Me Myself and I : A Whimsical Look At Life in Lockdown of depicting life in pandemic driven self-isolation. With a complete shutdown of much of my usual subject matter, I turned my lense on the one person I was with all the time -myself. This is self isolation portrayed in a unique and humorous way. The images feature Edmonstone x3 (Me Myself and I) doing everything from making bread, endless hours on the couch, laying awake at night scrolling on the phone, incessantly checking the fridge and cupboards hoping a snack will suddenly appear, to doing battle with monstrously big coronaviruses with a mop and wet wipes. The series also touches on the theme of being trapped in self isolation. It was a ton of fun to make these photographs even if the circumstances that are bringing them about are grim. Finding an interesting way to document my life in lockdown provided a much needed diversion from the world raging outside my door and it felt good to be productive again. It also gave me the occasion to actually put some pants on because let’s face it, most people were lounging about in boxers or sweatpants at home whether they were working or not.
