OPEN EDITION
Zebra Vase
Zebra Vase — and its companion piece Lined Leaves — came from a feeling for the simplest things. A vase. Some branches. A surface to rest on. The oldest subject in drawing, made again.
What interested me was the tension between the two elements: the vase bold and geometric, its thick black stripes decisive and graphic; the botanical above it delicate and patient, each leaf individually rendered in fine hatching that builds texture without weight. One element drawn with confidence. The other with quiet attention. That dialogue is where the work lives.
A spin on the traditional still life, drawn in archival ink and watercolour on paper. The watercolour lending atmosphere to what ink alone might have made too stark.

Size | Dimensions | Approx. Equivalent

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.
