MOs // Spring 2024
These polaroid scale format paintings/drawings called ‘Mos’, each titled by the exact time of execution are a daily routine, come rain or shine.
Initially this daily ritual started by studying old family photos recovered from a flood at my parent’s house in January ‘24. Once I’d studied most of the damaged photos from the family album I decided to open up the rule book and also allow myself to trawl through recent memories, often the day before & dreams. These are a few selections from the spring ’24 period. For more information please see ‘Mos Introduction’ in 2024.
