A continuation of the Limitary Patterns theme, this image took several months to evolve. The events of a few weeks (June 2016) perhaps helped crystallise the idea for the shapes and colours.

Mixed media on paper 30cm sq
Mixed media and acrylic on canvas 40cm sq No rudder or compass, the vessel floats free. It is everywhere and nowhere. It is mythical sailing in stories of fantastic voyages of the imagination. It is full of empty dreams. We keep vigil as it crosses our horizon.

The two parts are … Continue reading Hidden Repeats
