Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

The works (Ice Moon and Sea Horse) are a response to time spent on Residency in Skagastrond Iceland during the winter of 2022, to gain a deeper understanding of and further experience the light and mythology of this fascinating place. 

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.
