2003 acrylic on hardboard with cutout raised sections. 544 x 476mm, with a frame 65mm deep.
This was inspired early one morning in the campsite while on holiday. The camping mascot has indulged in one too many the previous evening.
The items in the foreground are painted on raised hardboard cutouts, giving it a 3D appearance.
This was inspired by a walk along Pukehina Beach, in the Bay of Plenty. The beach was long and straight, with the Pacific Ocean on the left hand side. I found three pieces of driftwood. One was a long thin stick, which I used to draw the circular ball shape in the sand. I was in the centre, and as I rotated on a fixed point (as fixed as it can be on beach sand), the point of the stick continued arcing out the curve around me.
