Monday's Match

Monday's Match
Acrylic on cotton on MDF
60x97mm


$1 reserve


I thought I'd paint a weeks long series of match paintings and put them on NZTradeMe. This is the first. The next day will have two matches and so on. Sunday will be a tally of seven matchsticks. I'll try and orchestrate it so that all the auctions finish on the same day. I like the idea of the passing of time being a part of the work. Hopefully it will also create some interest for the closing of the auctions. They will be separate paintings, however, the entire series will be worth more than the sum of the parts.
