Eyes of the North

A girl with pale eyes wrapped in a red cloak, side by side with the face of a wolf: two gazes that mirror each other against a wintry forest. The artwork plays on deep reds and cold blues, lifted by the glitter finish of the canvas that shows between the drills.

You pick up each drill with the applicator pen and press it onto the numbered squares of the sticky canvas, working one colour at a time: quiet, repetitive work that here takes some patience, given the large format and the long colour list. A frame is not included: once finished, the canvas is best stretched over a frame or framed professionally, ideally with spacers so the glass does not press on the drills.
