lead & dust - I Painting

Please note that I have not cropped the image fully leaving the background showing so the image is viewed at closer to its normal size. These are very small paintings so please check the dimensions carefully. Part of a collection exploring the relationship of nostalgic, old and found objects. The inspiration comes from the objects themselves and the way I respond to them when I find them (or they find me). Keys and moths are a frequent subject matter for me, its the symbolism that they carry- the moth, an ever symbol of the coming of change and mortality. The key suggesting locked away parts of ourselves.
