Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
Focused on the details and fragments of the whole, still intimate moments exploring textures and the overlooked elements. Hidden glows and streaks of light revealed beneath the layers, illuminate our path and guide us forward and inwards.
You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
