Solitude 1

Original – Acrylics, copper, verdigris, sand, wax, rust and resin on box canvas 100cm x 100m x 4cm

Solitude I is a large artwork that creates a bold statement.

The Solitude works form part of my Vessels Collection – inspired by boatworks in St Ives Harbour. The larger works make a real impact either on their own or grouped together as they have been in exhibitions or in situ in corporations or in private homes.

The term Vessel has the obvious nautical meaning and so you may see a teal boat with its hull resting on the sand, with decorative markings in yellow and white. You may also see water reflections in the Harbour in the shimmering aqua colours. But look deeper and you’ll find lines and scratches as though the boat is telling a story of each and every turning tide and trip out to sea.

These large Solitude works deliberately uses my signature to symbolise a boat registration number.
