What Falls Away - Pen Original - 2026

£800.00
Sold Out

Archival pen on 425gsm Saunders Waterford paper
A2 Portrait — 42 × 59.4 cm / 16.5 × 23.4 inches
Original artwork — one of one

This piece began with a quiet moment—looking closely at the delicate spirals of snail shells, their patterns expanding outward in soft, rhythmic waves. What first appeared structured and contained slowly opened into something looser, wider, and more free.

Built through layered lines that shift and ripple across the surface, the work mirrors that same movement: from tension to release, from holding on to letting go. The repetition becomes a kind of meditation—each line an echo of the last, but never quite the same, gently drifting away from control.

There’s a sense of expansion here, not just in form but in feeling. The further the lines travel, the more they soften, as if shedding weight. It reflects a personal process—learning to release expectation, to quiet the noise of outside opinion, and to find a steadier place within.

Rather than resisting the pull to control every outcome, this work leans into flow, into trust, into the idea that not everything needs to be held so tightly.

It is, at its core, about allowing things to unfold—and being at peace with whatever falls away.
