I can’t claim that these feet, legs, inserts……. are particularly new but in this piece they remind me of a specific event when I was crossing a narrow bit of the estuary with the tide coming in. There were stepping stones that made a repeat pattern through the rising water. This piece reminded in a rather excited childlike way of that short journey across the stones.
The decisions I make about where colour goes in the overall composition are often the most exciting part of making a piece and the decision to colour one of those legs a brighter red was one of those little moments of excitement and clarity.
