Hide and Seek
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I approached a big old house. Lots of shoes lined the porch but it feels very empty. I’m climbing lots of narrow stairs. In the attic, I’m playing hide and seek with the house’s family and others from elsewhere, like me. The mother of the house is the one seeking in this pillow fort maze. One elsewhere woman had brought her child and the seeking mother is pinning it to the floor. I’m going back down the stairs talking to the house’s father, I said ‘there’s a lot of rooms’, he responded ‘Yes, but there’s someone in every one’.

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.
