Philautia ii (Original)

£2,100.00

Philautia ii (self love)

My first interpretation of this type of love is a work on paper – now only available in giclee print form. This version takes the self love idea further – it is the centrepiece of the Love’s Lexicon collection; the most important type of love, from which all the other ‘positive’ types flow.

You will read 2 quotes which are incredibly important to me within the work

“may we love ourselves enough to love another” – (my friend Bryony)

“…your one wild and precious life” – from a poem by Mary Oliver

An expression of self-knowing and liberty, perhaps the moment before flight in a dream. We are at the helm, so we must be the pilot of our lives and treat ourselves as we want to be treated by others.

I have also created the piece as a diptych, I wanted the 2 panels to symbolise how we must love ourselves as we would another. It also means that the art work is easier to transport in two 50 x 100cm panels with 2 simple nuts and bolts at the back (no tools required)

*in-situ images are purely an indication of how the artwork might look*
