Bare

'Bare feet and sparkling eyes.’

Acrylic on primed wooden board / Varnished
507mm / 20mm Depth
Aluminium frame coated in warm pebble grey 

The Portare collection is inspired by new beginnings, new journeys and the notion of transporting, carrying and developing. My personal motivation behind the project was centred around my journey into motherhood and carrying our beautiful son, however the pieces may resonate differently with each viewer. Perhaps the collection resembles a new journey in your life, a career change, a marriage, a new home or a new found friend. The pieces are circular to represent a continuous journey of growth, never ending. There are only 8 pieces within the collection, a number which signifies infinity. Each piece is created using acrylic paint on a primed wooden board, sealed with a flexible varnish and finished with an aluminium, individually coated tray frame. Within each piece there is a quote, printed and built into the layers. The quote within this piece reads ‘Bare feet and sparkling eyes.’

Bare consists of bold abstract marks, with muted tones of grey, taupe, sand and white building across the piece. Finer white lines add detail to the otherwise bold, expressive design. The piece is finished with a warm pebble grey frame and fixings are supplied for display. The Portare collection is delivered by a specialist courier, complete with a  certificate of authenticity.
