A bottle of bleach labelled 'drink me' and a portrait of a nurse who died from Covid-19 are among the pieces featured in a new art exhibition.

The project, titled Two Metres, comes from artist Charlotte Chapman and is a response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

And with people being encouraged to keep their distances from each other, the work is available to view remotely, be it online or from the window of the gallery.

The exhibition includes a range of text pieces depicting thoughts from the artist and quotes from public figures since lockdown began.

The installation journeys the artist's response from initial panic and anxiety to the new normalities of everyday life at this present time.

It includes a tribute to Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong, the 28- year-old nurse who contracted Covid-19 while heavily pregnant.

She was given an emergency caesarean and delivered a healthy baby but died shortly after.

Charlotte's work also includes a small diorama of what she considers the 'new normal' - people social distancing outside Lidl.

This piece has been made from an empty tissue box that was bought, opened and used during lock down.

A bottle of bleach is also on display and is a nod to the stream of 'miracle cures' and other dangerous misinformation being shared online, including President Donald Trump suggesting research into whether coronavirus might be treated by injecting disinfectant.

Disinfectants are hazardous substances and can be poisonous if ingested.

The bottle sits on a quote from Alice in Wonderland: "It was all very well to say 'drink me', but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry. 'No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked 'poison' or not.'"

The work is on display at the 35-37 Gallery, in Tontine Street, Folkestone and has been hung to allow anyone walking past the gallery window to view the pieces.

In addition, an audio description has been recorded and there is an online version of the gallery and artwork available to view.

Robyn Neild, artist and curator of 35-37 Gallery, said: "Art can be many things; it is beautiful, disconcerting, thought provoking, humorous and dark.

"In these unsettling times it can be poignant, reflective and topical and 35-37 Gallery is pleased to be able to present just such a moment."

Charlotte added: "It's been a strange and harrowing time, having this creative outlet is enabling me to process what’s happening and the changes to society."

Charlotte has also created a drawing pack for children which can be accessed from her website, as well as the video tour and photos of the exhibition.
