Well Gate

A well's edge in brass, its overflow cascading past a black centre that no longer holds anything to give. Twelve gold beads sit just outside the circle — every offered refill that never got in.

• 60×60cm wooden board base with rust acrylic coating
• Gold metallic thread grid overlay, hand laid
• Fifteen antique bronze brass nails in 15cm circle formation
• Velvet black fabric centre, flat and sealed
• Seventeen orange cotton and double jute rope strands
• Twelve gold-wrapped wooden beads, 3 to 4mm
• Glossy varnish on overflow strands only
• Raw matte finish on well centre

18 to 22 hours of hand labour · A single, unrepeatable original

Well Gate is a unique, one-of-one original — not part of a numbered print run. It took 18 to 22 hours to complete by hand, and it will not be remade in identical form. Future works exploring the same idea may be created, but this exact object exists once.

Each work includes a signed certificate of authenticity, care instructions, and symbolic notes written by the artist explaining the compositional decisions within this piece.
