About the work

The Worms drawings were made for an extended postal project alongside a VR work called Care(less). I sent out sunflower seeds to 100 people (mostly on Facebook). My father used to give me sunflowers, so after his death I planted over a hundred giant sunflowers in our small garden. I found the regeneration of nature helped with the grief, its entropy and beauty in decay and regrowth.

I often make drawings such as this one of Worms as fragments, that are used in differing ways in other works. I used the Worms on my seed envelopes for the postal project.

I consider the act of drawing to be related to being conscious of an object (either present in memory or physically in front of you), a presence which is intensely felt as one looks again and again to try to see the thing in question with clarity. I think of drawing ontologically (about being). I am slow to draw – this drawing took about 6 hours (a long meditation).

When I was making Care(less) my father was trapped in the debacle of the UK care system and died before I could get a hoist for him to sit up. I dedicate this work to him.

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.

Bid Increments

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

£500 increments for bids of £5,000 plus

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.
