Lucian Freud has a quote that’s always stuck with me, and I’ve returned to it often during the lockdowns.
“My idea of travel is a downward travel really. Getting to know where you are, better, and exploring feelings that you know more deeply. I always think that thing ‘knowing something by heart’ gives you a depth of possibility which is more potential than seeing new sights, however marvelous and exciting they are.”
