Dap H35W96D35cms another one of my favourites. Dap” is a friendly gesture of greeting, agreement, or solidarity. I like to think this piece is a symbol of togetherness, people coming together. A linking of thoughts & life, personal opinion & my background all tied up in this piece

As an artist I have been posting things like this. I think this is "Fields of Oblivion 2". I think it's the one that was exhibited at the RWA open some years gone by. I like it and the other work in the series, but I didn't progress it further as someone else started doing similar work. Oh joy!
