Bathing In The Street
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I was bathing out in the street like I had done for a long time. Every night I carried the bathtub a little past the house on the end and placed it on the pavement.
As I was lying there washing I zoned out and saw myself from above. For the first time, I realised how obscene this was and I questioned, “Why did I do this?”. I became aware of all the windows in the street that had seen me for all this time. A car pulls up and 3 people get out. I greet each of them as they make their way past.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
