Limited edition giclee print of my neon of the same name (neon piece was released in 2017, though the neon part itself, the word “fragile” is from late 2013/14 and this has been a piece I took quite a few years to get around to finishing). UNFRAMED.

50cm x 50cm including a 2cm border all the way around

Edition size of only 20 (in total for diamond dust and non-diamond dusted prints)

Signed and numbered on the front.

This piece incorporates an image of the earth from space (original unedited photo supplied by NASA) with clouds I created using friends’ baby scans. There are words hidden in the sea, on the land and in space. The piece is essentially about how we outsource our fragility over time and across generations and geographies - about how others suffer for some of our luxuries. The piece questions (via the text at the end, the artist’s adaptation of a Francis Bacon quote “for the light to shine so brightly, must the darkness always be present?”) our approach to sharing, and whether others have to suffer for many of us to live a good life. Does someone always have to lose out, can “better” ever mean “better for everyone”? The original neon itself uses a bright warm white light which is still bright in daylight - hence the light still shines brightly without darkness.

The prints (which obviously do not light up) are available in an option which is hand embellished by Rebecca with diamond dust over the lettering of the word “fragile” which also makes the lettering pop during the day (and night).

The diamond dusted version is £285 UNFRAMED.

The non diamond dusted version is £235. UNFRAMED.

Prints are posted in a tube.
