Totem 4 Installation

One of a series entitled 'Diaspora ' ; The work has its origins in debris left in gutters and the paintings emerging from this - ( see 'The Dreamlife of Debris' series'). I was looking for a way to better reflect the patterns and rhythms of discarded items and the use of painted low relief proved effective. The notion of 'the discarded' seemed to have resonances with contemporary events - hence the 'Diasporas Series'. The image is not yet framed but could be housed in a box frame approx. 3" deep and weighing c. 5lbs it would be easily hung from hooks and hanging cord. The photograph shows the image in a mount coloured frame ( not included.)
