Emerging Essence Original by Charly Alston
Ink, acrylic, acetate
The ‘Summer Holiday’ was a time many used to escape their stresses, to calm the mind and just be, even if it was just for a week. However, that has been swiped from us in recent times. Through my experiences of living on the beautiful island of Guernsey; the beaches I get to explore, the magical coastline and the expansive sea I experience daily, I offer that feeling of connecting with yourself, your being, in this petri dish. The colours I see whilst on beaches lined by orange and pink granite, clear blue waters, and soft sand underneath. Emerging through the fluorescent fog is a parasol and beach towel. There is an invitation for you to sit and be. To allow the senses to be filled with the sound and smells of the seaside, to encompass your being with love.
