Packing Her Suitcase
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I was sat on a circular sofa in an artificially dark room, it felt like an arcade during the day. Everyone else was revising for an exam. I was texting someone, she was in the next room, packing to leave. I went to see her. It was her bedroom, she had the suitcase open on her bed, filling it with clothes. The surrounding walls were lined with crisp packets.

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.
