The Whole School Was Going on a Boat Trip
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 70 W x 50 H cm
I left my camera and laptop in the top left locker over the summer so I could start work immediately when I got back. I was hoping no one would steal it. The whole school was going on a boat trip. Paddling down a river in the middle of a foreign planet. This planet provided wood to Earth. All the other people on the trip surrounded us dressed in swampy hessian clothes in large wooden masks. We didn’t fit in. They saw us as outsiders and began to cut all the ropes on our boat so that we would sink.

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.
