Original artwork description:

‘NIGHT SCENTED STOCK’ is an acrylic and dye painting on unprimed canvas. It is 102x77cms in size, unframed and stretched over a wooden frame with steel corner braces. It is part of a series of works which focus on ‘garden’ environments. Memory is central to my work. I rarely make art work directly from what I see at ‘the time’ more likely from recollections of places and events. Ambiguity is a conspicuous feature of these works. The painting begins with a clear and exacting visual memory of location and event. Literal representation is overwritten by expressive mark making, which happens quickly to define the ‘moment’ Other pictorial elements are added en-route with the intention of creating psychologically charged spatial inventions.
The painting is shipped in a robust custom made cardboard crate (same as those used to transport large screens). The painting is bubble wrapped to protect the canvas. Further wrapping is made with corrugated card. A wooden frame is placed inside the cardboard crate to preserve the structural strength of the packaging. Each painting is insured to its sale value. Shipping costs within the U.K. take into consideration weight and insurance. U.K. shipping costs for this artwork are £80
