Gouache, graphite, ink on paper
Size: 38 x 31cm framed
Artist Statement:
Here is the evolution of Dinkie... first he starts with two small ears, then next one grows then by the third piece he has come to completion. I really love the subtleness of this work, emanating a serene peaceful feel, while also being quietly determined and ambitious.
There's a cute little story that came about with these pieces, which you'll notice each feature a Japanese symbol/character. I stayed with my mum in California before heading off to London on my big OE. Upon arrival in London, with bags packed to the brim I opened up my case and Mum had sneaked in this beautiful necklace that I'd seen prior to leaving the States. The necklace is silver and has the Japanese symbol/character for Ambition stamped in the middle. It was such a nice surprise and I've worn the necklace ever since. I find it inspiring, and it's only fitting that it features on the Evolution of Dinkie series xx
