Cyanotype layers of time. Approx 8 minutes from sun to paper.

Still working on this painting. It made it to stage 2 of the John Moores Painting Prize but not through to the final stage so now I can continue with the layering of textures and time.

I am reminded of the poem by the great Wilfred Owen ‘Soldiers Dream’ where he imagines Jesus causing a ‘permanent stoppage’. All the guns, all the weapons, stop functioning.

Multi layered with ink base and water soluble oil. 40 x 40 cm. Work in progress.
