My painting, Flyaway, is on loan to the University of Social Sciences. This is the latest in a series of works on old pages. It is done in ink, watercolor and acrylic. I hope it brings a spark of hope, joy and imagination to those who encounter it.
If you are curious about the therapeutic effects of vintage materials, and like to view other works in the series, please read my article on working with old pages. It was published in Envisage magazine in 2021.
"The history and imprints on the page make it inspiring. The passing of time has created a diversity of patterns and they varied with each page. Aged and vintage materials hold deep stories that evoke emotions and draw people to the works. The aged page speaks with a commanding voice as an old embodied spirit that has endured unspeakable changes, unlike the new pristine page which appear now naïve and ubiquitous. I suddenly revel in my inherited old page."
