This piece invites the viewer to question the value we place on material things. Too often we judge success based on wealth, property and possessions. We evaluate people on how they look and what they wear and consider this as a marker of accomplishment. ‘Rich Man’s Shoes’ is a figurative representative of this judgement. Is prioritising wealth as a determining factor of happiness genuinely important?
All hand embellished editions are small in number and vary from piece to piece with elements such as overdrawing, embellishment with inks and graphite, and gold leafing. This means that each fine artwork is completely unique. It ensures that each collector has a lasting acquisition. Artwork consists of archival pigment inks printed onto 310 gsm cotton rag, hand embellished with graphite and gold leaf, signed and numbered.
A ‘Unique Edition’ is used to signify that each piece within the edition, while being the same imagery and format, is not identical as with a typical edition or print.
