"The sunflowers displayed here have been chosen, not only because of their golden individuality, but also because, like gold, they seem to have an everlasting quality. They don't readily wither and die but remain timelessly viable; their dazzling petals slowly becoming bronzed and desiccated, their statuesque form, elegantly contorted." - Valda Bailey
Each glass print from this edition is individually hand finished by the artist with various precious metals; here is gilded with Lemon Gold leaf, giving the piece its own unique style.
The beauty of the pieces printed on glass are truly revealed when seen in the flesh, which shimmer in the daylight and change constantly as different light sources are reflected off the print.
Exhibition frame: Jelutong wood; colour: Ebony, Stain finish, Spoon profile.
Exhibited in the Savoy , London at the private dining room of Gordon Ramsay's The River Cafe, December 2022 - June 2024 (artwork loan)
