Awash

I created ‘Awash’ at a time when I was feeling particularly vulnerable and overwhelmed with life as an artist. I was house-sitting on an island for a friend and waking early every day to try and capture sunrise. Because of this I noticed how striking the light looked coming through the blinds as the sun was rising and I liked the juxtaposition between being ‘awash’ with light and the lifebuoy signifying water. The image was created to illustrate an article I wrote called ‘Twelve things no one tells you about being an artist’ which you can read at http://hayleyrobertsphoto.com/artist-life/
