Life in Letters

The text at the edges works like the border scenes of a hagiographical icon: a narrative framing the central figure. Set by hand, resin over the top.

One subject lived through dozens of ways: rider, spear, serpent — each time in a different matter, from red ground to blue tile. A series about an image that survives any reworking and stays recognisable from across the room.

Light background, rider, text blocks around the edges.
