Original artwork description:

This is one of two works are a single enso (circle) created following a slow smooth breath. A gentle steady inhale and exhale. Focussing my mind and bringing myself to being present in the act of creation. More mindful.

They are a physical record of a captured moment created during lockdown 2020. With a half section of the inner space gilded with 24 carat gold leaf. Northern hemisphere in Optimism I and Southern in II. I am reminded that we have a choice of how to experience and react to that which we cannot control.

Is the contained space half empty or half full?

Ink on Chinese mulberry paper, mounted to Fabriano cartridge substrate (200gsm) on birch panel with aluminium subframe.

Materials used:

Ink, Chinese mulberry paper, Fabriano cartridge (200gsm), 24 carat gold leaf.
