The Contours of Rest

The Contours of Rest, 2024

Original soft pastel drawing on toned cotton paper, 62.5 x 48 cm

A quiet study of rest, warmth and vulnerable presence.

About the work
A reclining figure is shaped through radiant reds, earthy tones and softened light.
Bold pastel marks give the body a sense of weight and calm, while the surrounding colour holds the figure in quiet warmth.

Created from a live model, this piece carries the intimacy of observation — a moment of rest shaped by presence, trust and stillness.
