When It Snows - Original Artwork

This one started life as a live gallery piece, then got rolled up and put away for a while. When I brought it back into the studio I cut it down, turned it upside down and went at the surface again. Layers of printing, painting, spray paint and pastel on top and then the floral motif, until it turned into something else entirely.

It ended up icy. Frosted whites, pastel tones like clouds, the flowers almost translucent like they're made of ice. The leaves are sharp, line work picked out in white, and underneath it all there are warm neon colours bleeding through, giving it a Christmas feel I didn't plan for. That's the bit I love, you start somewhere and the piece tells you where it's actually going. If it's fun I want some, and reworking this one was fun from start until the fun ran out.

Part of a collection built on the beauty of the mess. After years mastering technical screen printing, I stripped it all back, raw and visceral, hand-pulled lines and fluorescent colour over the polish. Present in the moment, trusting the creative mistake.
