Carriers

30” x 36” (76 x 91.5cm) / Acrylic on gessoed panel / £4750

Have you ever noticed the high-voltage red porcelain insulators - if that's what they are - on power line installations? They look like miniature pagodas. The colours are exotic, not at all the sort of thing you expect from an industry called a ‘utility’. I like to think of the billions of electrons being bundled slowly along the wires by the massive waves of radiating energy, all unseen, ignored, unless the lights go out. The painting is presented in a wax-polished gesso frame by Stewart Heslop of London.
