FRAMED OR UNFRAMED SHIPPING OPTIONS

All artworks can be supplied framed, with museum-quality bespoke framing and secure crating for transport.

Unless stated otherwise, artworks are available unframed and can be purchased as such if you prefer to work with your own framer.

I also offer a bespoke framing service through Ro Frames, who take exceptional care in the handling and presentation of artworks. Using sustainable wood, museum-grade materials, UV-protective glazing, and conservation-standard, acid-free mounting techniques, each frame is crafted to preserve and enhance the work.

FULL PAYMENT
Payment in full secures the work and allows for prompt shipment.

INSTALMENTS
Monthly instalments can be arranged, with shipment following receipt of the final payment. A simple contract will be provided to protect both parties.

Please specify your preferred payment option when making your enquiry.

About the Work

I have been working weekly through my Journal de Bord series for several years—an ongoing practice rooted in real-time observation, much like a captain's log. This approach is inspired by the Japanese shichijni ko calendar, where each micro-season lasts only a few days. Nature is constantly changing, and I strive to capture those fleeting moments before they vanish.

This piece is part of my Journal de Bord series, shared with my catalogue subscribers each week. In this entry, I reflect on what I observed in nature, how the piece unfolded, and the specific moment that inspired the work. Below is the journal entry to go alongside this artwork.

Entrée n°84

I'm drawn to specific beams of light that fall through gaps in the trees, what I think of as puddles of light, small, round patches that appear briefly on the forest floor. These aren’t dappled or abstract patterns; they’re more precise, fleeting spots of illumination. I often photograph these moments, especially when leaves drift across the light, and later sketch them in the studio.

From there, I translate the forms into brass stencils, preparing them for charring. The charring process softens the brass’s edges in a way that echoes the blurred outlines of shadows. There’s something elemental in it, using fire not just as a tool but as a way to shift the material’s surface and meaning. In some traditions, charring is used to preserve wood or mark transitions; here I am not only marking the wood, I am preserving the memory of the leaf and the moment, but altered, like a shadow, never fixed.

This series has been ongoing since 2023, and I add to it slowly, letting it evolve over time. Each piece is made on thick plywood and left unframed, I want them to stay open, not boxed in.
