A human skull rendered in pale cream and ochre tones smokes a cigarette against a stark black background, its hollow eyes and gaping mouth creating an unflinching gaze. Beneath the skull lies a carefully articulated skeleton of bones and vertebrae, painted with anatomical precision and subtle modeling that gives the composition weight and dimensionality. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
