  • I selected this piece of art because it’s so evocative. One can project into it because it looks like it could represent several different ideas – it could be a reef, it could be the opening of a river to the sea, it could be many things. I like how the artist has made good use of the space with the attention to detail in the top left-hand corner. This artwork asks a lot of the viewer, you have to work at what is the artist saying here, what are they representing. The colours, the shading, the light wash of the brush over the canvas- all of it works to invite you in to pause and spend time looking into this work. There’s a depth here that draws one in. I find it surprisingly calming and also intriguing.’
