Original artwork description:

One of two commissions:

You begin your journey by climbing onto the escalator. You assume it will take you gently up to where you want to go yet somehow along the way the escalator has changed and you find yourself clinging onto a dragon that is determined to throw you off. You cling on for dear life but always your fingers loosen and you fall. You drop down onto another escalator but once again everything under your feet rapidly changes until you’re desperately hanging on.
A metaphor for the struggles of life, this painting puts the scales into escalator.

Materials used:
