 October, November & December 2009, glassine paper bag with wool, small piece of glass with tree engraving, small envelope with cut out images of precious jewels  December 2009 detail | Three months worth of art works. I must have been busy at the end of 2009. My favourite is the little purple envelope with the word ‘treasure’ printed on in Lettraset. Inside are cut out images of beautiful rings all sporting large precious gems. Beautiful to look at and a bit tongue in cheek as December is Christmas season, which means gifts and cut out rings just seem so desperate! It reminds me of the glitzy, artificial Christmas that we enjoyed so much in Singapore. January in Winchester is cold, wet and gray. A sense of melancholy in the air. The three new works I made all seem to be weighed down by the grayness. Even the piece called ‘Treasure’ is like a fingerprint, treasure referring, perhaps to identity, not the sparkly diamonds and rubies of December 2009. |  'X-ray', glassine paper bag, wool, 20 January 2014  'Tree', tracing paper, black cardboard, 29 January 2014  'Treasure', ink, graphite and watercolour on paper, 29 January 2014 |
