VASE II - Lay Your Head In Water - Original Artwork 2022

£8,950

The story behind the artwork

An efflorescent explosion of emerging colour and beauty, yet each element is intricately placed and carefully thought out. Reach deeper, beyond the fronds and petals and corollas, and discover hands and eyes reaching out to you, creating perpetual movement and a sense of self, an undercurrent of movement that the eye cannot immediately see. Perhaps these floral bouquets are representative of the body’s most complex organ, the brain, sitting over the amphora, our physical anatomy. Two stone heads lay gently down towards the water, an Icelandic saying that means to think long and hard about something. Meanwhile, beautiful and calm- ing motifs of the natural world still the mind’s spiral. Sequinned birds and rainbow hued fauna; swollen roses and majestic orchids. Tiny gems hidden beneath the paint-strokes of old masters gild this imperfect world; yet when one takes a step back, the world looks as perfect as can be.
