Await destruction
Oil on canvas
100 x 100 cm
2020

One of a series of paintings of natural crystals painted during lockdown in my home studio.
The crystals a fragments of the earth we live on, beautiful and precious, which are said to have magical healing powers and other mystical properties which has made them commercially valuable.
I'm interested in their colour and the way they reflect light, they often seem unnatural and alien and to defy the idea that there are no straight lines in nature. They are certainly intriguing and beautiful but for me their preciousness is a reminder of the things I truly value in life rather than material possessions.
