has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.

"Nursery Rhyme", 2016, 40 x 30 cm; acrylic, cut and painted paper, plaster, on wood.
The purpose of a nursery rhyme, beneath its bright and benevolent exterior, it to translate the chaos and confusion of life into a narrative comprehensible to the mind of a child.
This painting, like a poem for children, is built up in layers, each layer altering and amplifying the ones above and beneath it.

"The Days Between", 2016, acrylic and cut paper on gallery-wrapped canvas, 50cm wide x 40cm high (20 x 16 inches).
A combination of geometric and organic forms cut from painting paper are layered into a background of acrylic (some of the paint amended with plaster dust) sanded and varnished between layers to create an illusion of depth and transparency. The forms loop and scatter across the canvas, gathering in places to create small "scenes", groupings of forms that see to imply some further meaning or image, while a single pale structure wanders across the entire image, like a rope, or a river, or a sequence of moments.
