About The Artwork
Of all the Cornish Festivals the Padstow May Day festival, with its Obby Oss figures and dances, this is probably the one whose folk origins stretch furthest back into the mists of time. In interpreting this theme as a painting I found that a complex series of inherently unstable diagonals and a play of shadows and highlights offered a way of suggesting the teetering and swaying movement of this curiously primitive figure. His disc-like frame seemed to swirl around precariously, charged with spring energy.
