Ink, Acrylic, Pastel, Pencil, Chalk, Charcoal, Oil Stick on Canvas
30.5 x 40.5cm
This small piece went through multiple iterations, before later being smothered in creamy, pink paint, leaving the viewer with just a peek at what remains of its previous editions. Originally, titled “What’s Underneath”, I later realised that, completely by coincidence, the marks made in charcoal spell out the word “Joy”. This leaves the piece with a wonderful, uplifting metaphor relating to finding joy in unexpected places, when one looks carefully at the foundations. I think this would make a wonderful addition to any space where the viewer will be reminded to look for the joy in the everyday.
