Precipice reserved either for reasons of sentiment

either for reasons of sentiment or achievement

The core of this painting is the distant breaking light

Precipice reserved either for reasons of sentimentPrecipice, n. a headlong fall or rush, a sheer drop Precipice explores the fraught connection between two people on the brink of the unknown. Above them, the potential of flight; behind them, oblivion. In this precarious moment they cling together with fragile grip; the high key and subdued colouration of the painting enhance the feeling of height, adrenaline and thin air.
