This is one of several older artworks that I’ve put up onto Bluethumb recently. It’s a very good opportunity to buy early artwork that displays the starting points of the ideas, colours and style that are developing and emerge later in my artistic career.
This artwork was inspired by looking back over my notes and finding, from some years back, a fascinating idea for a sculpture. It used a giant prism to refract light onto a white wall. The wall was slightly curved in it’s length - like a banana, and, as the moon moved across the sky a band of coloured moonshine light would transit from right to left along the length of the wall. I wrote to a department of optics at a university for help regarding details, but didn’t get a reply. So I decided to produce a painting of it instead.
This painting, arrives stretched, ready to hang on a quality frame, and is finished with a double varnish coat. It is packaged securely in a shipping crate and is well safeguarded with protective layering. My work comes with a certificate of authenticity and often contains notes on the artwork’s providence.
