“A physical likeness or representation of the saltwater that covers the greater part of the earth's surface from publications that were issued seasonally, bound in a paper cover.
By using a technique of compositional pasting on a single surface, various elements in this case, associate with one another. This has created the expression according to aesthetic principles with the hope of moving beyond ordinary significance.”

2020 ARTWORK VARIATIONS
VIA TOMA
As a way to support our small art ecology we have commissioned the current artist cohort with the help of Arts Council England to make a series of 10 artworks each. 50% of any sales will go back to the artists and 50% towards supporting the programme. Each Artwork Variations is £25. We believe that anyone should be able to own art so we have kept our prices affordable. Now, more so than ever, art communities are fragile - if you can’t buy anything - please share to expand the network - we really appreciate it! Community over competition.
