DREAMS AS BIG AS THE SKY - 2024

Mixed media on wooden board

Exhibited at 'Ceramics & Still Life', Project Gallery 90, 12 - 25 September 2024

I wanted to try the challenge of a limited palette and used only five colours: Phthalo Blue (Green Shade), Prussian Blue, White and Raw Umber, and a water based spray paint.

To me, blue is contemplation, peace and dreams as big as the sky above us. It’s for those who adopt our passions as their own, who cheer for us and whose belief in us makes the world so very large and beautiful.

This small-scale work reflects the paradox of how the tiniest objects can have the greatest impact. In this still life, each of the books have enlarged my inner life. The creatures are each souvenirs gathered from Paris, Stockholm and Oslo. These tiny things from big adventures make the world feel smaller. The other things may be humble but have outsized personal significance: the lamp, scavenged from the side of a road, illuminates my nightly drawing practice. The begonia cutting in an empty coffee jar refers to a desperate attempt to reinvigorate a get-well gift. The green paint is the same house paint used to refurbish a dollhouse also rescued from the side of the road.
