How the work is made

Photograph first

Every painting starts on the flats at low tide, with a camera and the last hour of light.

Paint slowly

Oil and cold wax on linen, built up over weeks until the surface holds light on its own.

Hang it low, light it low

Shown at 145 cm on centre and lit from one side, so the paint reads before the picture does.
