I made this as a kinda wish for things to be as beautiful as they are right now, for always. They say if you write it down, it’ll happen… I’m going with that theory :-) .

Stay is a photograph I took of a detail of a much larger artwork made on canvas, for a commission. I initially made the photograph as a record of texture and colour, and because the word just resonated with me on that particular day. Later, I came back to the photograph, and decided it worked beautifully as a work in it’s own right. I like the awkward composition, the roughness in texture, the off-balance imperfection.
