The Weight of Returning

£500.00

ORIGINAL WATERCOLOUR PAINTING ON LINEN

43cm x 32.7cm x 4.1cm
(17” x 13” x 1.6”)
2025

Created using red clay gathered from Wick, The Weight of Returning reflects on the pull between movement and stillness — the cycles of leaving, changing, and coming home. The deep, earthen tones suggest both gravity and warmth, grounding the viewer in the quiet truth that return is not just a place, but a feeling: of belonging, of remembering where we began. It is a meditation on connection, the passage of time, and the grounding strength found in the familiar soil beneath our feet.

Collection Inspiration

Part of the Of Soil and Starlight collection, this painting explores our bond with the earth and the unseen cosmos above. It speaks to the cycles that shape us — departure, discovery, and return — reminding us that even as we reach outward into the unknown, the earth continues to hold us steady.
