About the work

Many of my drawings take their geometry and tone from rooms that I have been in. Some for a few minutes and that I know only fleetingly, others that I have got to know every inch of over many years. The room in Enough for Immortality is the house where I was born, and where loved ones have died – a place of first and last breaths. Yet the drawing of the room takes it far beyond its four walls and biographical associations as its dimensions are abstracted and it enters cosmic space. The title comes from a poem by the astronomer Rebecca Elson Let There Always Be Light:

 

Whatever they turn out to be,

               Let there be swarms of them,

               Enough for immortality,

               Always a star where we can warm ourselves.

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm, Mon 5th July. However, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

Bid Increments

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

£500 increments for bids of £5,000 plus

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
