Original painting on paper.

There’s something very self-contained about this figure and it made me think about how as we exist in the world we’re doing so with our own secret world inside us.

The transferred image comes from a photograph I took at Kelham Island in Sheffield (click through the images to see it). I’m fascinated by trees that have been tampered with by humans and take upon strange and otherworldly forms.

Acrylic, mono-print and image transfer on textured 400gsm Fabriano Pittura paper, presented in a lightly textured off-white mount.

Overall size 30cm x 30cm.
