OPEN EDITION
Cosmic Girl And The Night Sky
Cosmic Girl and The Night Sky began with a fascination — the kind that arrives late at night when the sky is clear and the questions get bigger. What exists beyond us. What exists within us. Whether those two things are the same question.
She arrived intuitively — her face simple and still, eyes closed, present and elsewhere simultaneously. What surprised me was her hair. It grew outward like weather, like wings, like something the night sky exhaled. Dense flowing line that became its own landscape. Above her, the stars. Around her, the wave of her own interior life, just as vast.
She is drawn in archival ink and watercolour on paper — the watercolour giving depth to the darkness surrounding her, the ink giving precision to everything she contains.
I find her quietly powerful. She is not looking at you. She doesn't need to.
This artwork is shown in a room to give a sense of scale — the room setting is a visualisation, not a photograph. The drawing itself is exactly as pictured in the detail shots.

An open edition — printed to order, and available for as long as I'm making the work. Not signed or numbered; those are the limited editions.
Printed with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 g/m² — 100% cotton, museum grade. The same paper and the same inks as the limited editions. Fade resistant for over 100 years under normal display conditions.
Every print is made at a certified Hahnemühle fine art lab — in Cape Town for South African orders, and at the lab closest to you if you're ordering from elsewhere. No customs delays, no import charges.

All prints are produced on standard international paper sizes. The measurements below are the full sheet size including a natural border around the image area.
Size | Dimensions | Approx. Equivalent
A5 | 14.8 × 21 cm | Postcard / small artwork
A4 | 21 × 29.7 cm | Standard document / small statement piece

A1 | 59.4 × 84.1 cm | Living room or hallway statement piece
A0 | 84.1 × 118.9 cm | Full wall installation — commanding presence
Framing note: Standard frame sizes align with these dimensions. We recommend a white or natural linen mount in a frame 10–15cm larger than the print — this gives the work room to breathe and is how gallery pieces are typically displayed.
Not sure which size? A3 works well on a desk or shelf. A2 is the most popular for bedroom walls. A1 and A0 are statement pieces for living rooms, hallways, or spaces where the work needs presence from across the room.
