Daniella Turbin is a UK-based visual artist.

In the artist’s words: “Since the start of the lockdown I have been working from a loft space in my family home in Walsall, UK. In an attempt to visualise the gravity of the pandemic I set to work on a durational installation. On a daily basis, I made clay orange skins, each one representing the growing figures released of people losing their lives to the coronavirus within the UK. Responding to the numbers released generated a fluid and unpredictable process for me. The loft space is now filled with these clay pieces, they began as carefully crafted individuals but quickly had to turn into swiftly made sketches of form. Within a day or so, the sun dries out the clay and turns it white. To capture these changes in the pieces, I made a daily photo diary and took one photograph every twenty minutes from sunrise to sunset. Some of these photographs are shown here.”
