The Small Sacrament of the Everyday (100x100cm, acrylic on wood panel)

£485.00

This loose painted collage considers the record of a favourite chair, and the chair as a symbol of the people who sit in it. Chairs hold memories of our domestic life, and remain as a symbol of home, endurance and resilience.

The sheet music incorporated is of ‘The Last Waltz’ imagining this as the comfort chair of a last stage of life, where one sits and reflects over a life lived.

The words are all from a collection of poems about the pursuit of happiness, including, on its arm, the reflection on the fact that what remains is the everyday.
