About the work

The act of frottage – taking rubbings, has been central to much of my work since 2006. Broken Ground, 2020, is from a small series of drawings collectively titled Surface Fill, made between 2018 and 2020. The drawings utilize frottage to transfer the natural physical surface of stone, slate, earth etc., onto paper, to make traces of reality. Some of the resulting embedded graphite images are left as purely direct representations of the original, others, such as Broken Ground, include drawn interventions which transform and interrupt the natural surface, introducing an element of artificiality and ambiguity of scale.

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm (BST) Monday 3rd July, however, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
