Cathrine: I mentioned a little bit in the email about was there any sort of object or everyday item that you had I wasn’t sure if that was something that you were interested in [discussing that was evocative of the pandemic for you]?

 

Julia: I thought about this and there was something I saw online: there was this guy who makes, he’s a potter, he’s made Covid vases. It would be quite interesting to get one or something like that to commemorate it but no, I mean there’s a bit of me that’s wanted to kind of disengage from that and kind of get on… …. [but] if you look online for Covid vase [you will find the potter] … … they are blue and they are in the shape of the Covid virus … …they look rather nice; I think they are limited edition, almost certainly they will be completely sold out, but actually in terms of commemoration [I like them].
