Sometimes you just want to make something fun. With Now Hold Still, I wanted to create a piece I could put up on the street that could stretch out over a wall. I liked that people might discover the cat or dog separately, and enjoy them individually without linking the two. But for those who made the connection, it’d be a fun little reward to brighten their day. In the home, this pair of paintings can be hung as close or far apart as the collector likes, and make the perfect sophisticated addition to a lucky kid’s bedroom. Now Hold Still was first created in 2022 and can still be found on the street here in Fitzroy, Melbourne. There will only ever be 5 original sprays of these six-colour stencil paintings. They come as a pair, each measuring 50cm x 65cm. They are signed and numbered, hand-cut and hand-sprayed on acid-free, archival quality 160gsm lightly-textured steel grey paper. This is not a screenprint. Each piece is an original work, with its own individual (im)perfections. The pair are sold unframed and are shipped rolled in a tube.
