Bloody Keys
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I woke with a set of piano keys in my hand. They were still connected like ribs and traversed over to my chair. The back of the keys were covered in blood and viscera and seemed as if they were pulled from something organic. Pablo was outstretched trying to lick the blood. I was doing my best to stop him, to roll the keys back up and not get any on my bed.

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.
