‘Nothing sweeter.’ Acrylic on primed wooden board / Varnished507mm Diameter / 20mm DepthAluminium frame coated in a brass finish frame The Portare collection is inspired by new beginnings, new journeys and the notion of transporting, carrying and developing. My personal motivation behind the project was centred around my journey into motherhood and carrying our beautiful son, however the pieces may resonate differently with each viewer. Perhaps the collection resembles a new journey in your life, a career change, a marriage, a new home or a new found friend. The pieces are circular to represent a continuous journey of growth, never ending. There are only 8 pieces within the collection, a number which signifies infinity. Each piece is created using acrylic paint on a primed wooden board, sealed with a flexible varnish and finished with an aluminium, individually coated tray frame. Within each piece there is a quote, printed and built into the layers. The quote within this piece reads ‘Nothing sweeter.’ Sweetest consists of layered abstract brush strokes, as taupe, white and coffee tones swirl and build around the board. This expressive piece is finished with thinner white marks layered over the raw brush marks. This piece has a brass finish frame and fixings are supplied for display. The Portare collection is delivered by a specialist courier, complete with a certificate of authenticity.
