The Scroll (2017 - ongoing)

10 cm x 9500 cm, watercolour, etching, oil, poster paint, on paper

 
 
 

The Scroll is a 10 centimetre high ongoing work on paper which presently spans 95 metres. Begun in 2017, it records nearly 9 years of life and commitment. As the piece ongoing, a long life could see the scroll reaching a kilometre.  The Scroll is understood as an artefact: an attempt to capture, clarify, and search for pattern within the chaos of lived experience.
