How Do We Go Forward?

24 x 24 in

$600.00

This piece grew gradually over the first two years of the pandemic, starting with words inscribed onto a wet black layer, covered in tissue, and painted on top. The leaves have been used several times in gelli-plate printing, and had become completely encased in multiple colours of acrylic paint. They looked so lovely to me that they eventually found their way into the painting. The rusty orange paint pops off the blue. Not my usual palette, but I just love the colours. There are multiple thin lines and textures that draw in the eye. Although it has a lot of quiet space, I’ve been looking at it for months and can see nothing to add. So it’s done. It both asks and answers a question about how to move forward when our path is unclear. Much like the process of painting, we take one step and then reassess.

What's the difference between "Reserve" and "Purchase"?

Reserve: Place artwork on hold for 7 days to arrange free digital mockups to visualize the artwork in your space,  arrange a free consultation, arrange to view the work in person, or chat with us for any reason about the piece.

This is complementary and the best option if you are on the fence.

Purchase: Buy the artwork online. Additional shipping costs (if applicable) will be calculated at check-out. Please allow up to 7 business days for shipping.

Please note that we offer full refunds on artworks within 7 days of delivery, but delivery and return shipping costs are not refundable.

I love this piece, but can't quite afford it!

We offer some options which might hep with affordability:

  1. Rentals: artworks can be rented for 5% of the total cost, charged monthly, for a minimum of 2 months. Rental fees incurred can be applied against an eventual purchase, as long as the rental fees were for the same piece. This is a great, low-risk option to test the artwork out it in your space without paying the full cost up-front.
  2. Installments: similar to the rental program, we are open to arranging installment-based payments with zero interest fees. E.g., 25% of the artwork value charged monthly, over 4 months. This is arranged on a case-by-case basis.

To pursue either of the options above, please reserve the artwork.

How is authenticity guaranteed?

All artworks we sell are original works or limited edition prints. For the latter, the edition number and total number of editions will be specified in the description.

All pieces are signed by the artist.

An authenticity certificate with the artwork and purchase details will be provided once artworks are delivered and you have confirmed you are satisfied.

What does "Framed" mean?

The artist has already put the artwork in a frame, which is included in the dimensions and cost shown. An image of the artwork including the frame should be provided.

All frames are optional.
