“This is one of my favourite pieces in the series. As an artist, people tell you a lot of things about your art but I believe the most important things are said in silence. When the first excitement of seeing the painting is over, people tend to stare into this one for a long time - not saying a word. It seems to have a gravity of sorts. I hope you feel it too.”
