ACRYLIC & CARVING ON COTTON RAG, ORIGINAL ARTWORK
21 x 30cm – (30 x 39cm Framed) Framed in bespoke made oak frame with ArtGlass.
The inspiration for this piece, alongside Wishing For More Time’ 'Wishing For More Time II', and 'The Fascination of Evolution' all being checkerboard I think came to me because of my enjoyment of repetitive patterns and my love for geometric shapes. The checkerboard kept flashing up in my head, so I knew I had to get it out and into my work.
With these I wanted the checker to be fluid and have movement like water or fabric, indicating the continual flow and change over time. The more time you have, the more things evolve. I knew I wanted to contrast the painted elements with linear carvings on the plain paper sections. These reinforce the repeating over and over of checker, again coming back to that meditative thought process.
The choice of cream and white as an alternative to the classic black and white checkerboard was to have a modern twist which is subtle with a lower contrast.
Supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
Signed and dated on reverse.
