Wishing window

Soft pastel on paper

2018

24 x 16.5cm

This image comes from my time travelling in India. I was at the temple of the Dalia Lama when I came to this beautiful window containing hundreds of candles, each representing a blessing.

I was drawn back to this image again and again by it's brilliant colours contrasted with the iron cast and stained window, as well as it's significance of simple acts which send forth love and kindness to the kin of the well wishers.

It was was drawn while attending an artist residency in Taohuatan, China in 2018.

Framed with a black frame, black mat and non-reflective glass.

Sold. Private collection, NZ
