Bed Balanced on Beams
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
My bed was balanced on the beams after we took the floorboards up. I woke up and nothing changed, I could see the bottom of the hole. I was concerned about my covers touching the bottom, feverously pulling them up. I couldn’t make myself realise it was a dream, I could clearly see everything. I decided to force myself to sleep to see if it reset. I woke again to the same thing. This time Harrison was also in the room, sitting on a beam in front of me holding something. I was asking him if he needed help while trying to get his attention, touching his back. He never turned around. I finally convinced myself it wasn’t real by getting in the hole. When I told Harrison in the morning, he had had the same experience, spending that night in the room.

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.
