Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork   

One image comes from my current body of work that is exploring notions of desire and sensation through the interaction of the figure with plants and gardening. 
 
The other image is a self portrait, which is something I've been making continuously since my MFA at Glasgow School of Art in 2007. 

Please do not bid on artwork in our Art on a Postcard auctions if you intend on selling the artwork after you have purchased it. This auction has been organised for charity and all artworks have been generously donated by the artists to raise money for the Hepatitis C Trust. When the work produced for the charity is sold on the secondary market it damages our relationship with the artist and prevents us from fundraising.
