Artist Reply: thank you Melanie. It amazes me how quickly people respond to work. I originally intended this work to be huge- 2metres X 1.5 metres and absolutely covered with objects but when I drew it up each object was too big. This work is less than half that size. I just didn't have enough stuff to make a bigger pile. I might have another go next year. I'm working toward an exhibition (my first!) called Entangled at the moment and this didn't fit in unfortunately.

Artist Reply: Thanks Cathy. It took me about 5 days, although the last session was 13 hrs! It is quite a large canvas (about 120cm x 80cm) and the brushwork is broad. There are about 3 layers. It looks more detailed because it is so small on the screen.

Artist Reply: Thanks Ruth I've never been pic of the day before - what a thrill.

Artist Reply: Thank you! Can't believe you saw it so quickly - I only uploaded it 10 mins ago.
