2020. Acacia wood and acrylic paint. 170 x 30 x 30 cm.

The inscriptions of time on the body. A tally stick of experiences. I felt the bare wood of this 2011 piece would benefit from the experiments and discoveries made while painting the Last Laugh heads.

An opportunity for one of my favourite Cocteau quotes – “You’ve never seen death? Look in the mirror every day and you will see it like bees working in a glass hive.”
