Pencil & Calligraphic Ink on paper
Signed on front
A3 size (297x420mm)

Celebrating food and drink culture as always, this new piece honours a halcyon, glorified moment of alcoholic ritual. It is a leisurely prandial wine, or an ancient religious offering, or an end-of-day martini. The layered yellow ink resonates with the temperament of a falling sun; the liquid, golden and syrupy, overflows in libation; the rolling, dragged pen strokes feel languorous, like the flickering reflections of burning sunset in the tidal sea.

Where my photography often presents a frozen, timeless version of a perfected occasion, by contrast these new Vessel pieces relax into a more open expression of movement and an ageing acceptance of the passing of time.
