Peter Lonergan
Peter Lonergan is a Sydney architect. Peter’s journal is a series of sketches that he says helped him to focus during the lockdown period.
We asked Peter three questions about his experience of isolation, completing this journal and his hope for the future. These are his responses:
Describe the experience of the period of isolation for you.
It is a bit the same... kind of parallel.
What does your book represent and how did you approach the challenge?
I was only working on this one exhibition (in this book) and it helped me focus.
What do you hope will change in Australia as a result of the pandemic?
I hope people can and will come to the exhibition, a thing we have not been able to do for months now!
