Studio interior findings 2024 

'Workmate'

I share an old dilapidated space with fellow artists as our studio. During 2024 I did a series of paintings of things/ interiors within the space, all painted from life, allaprima. 

This is a 'workmate' set up upon the first floor, with sawdust and a plastic bag on the floor.
