The title Shadow Dancer aims to tell a story of an unseen dance. It’s about uncovering parts of the shadow side of your psyche. It’s a daring to look into the dark to find your true self awakened and moving. I think a common theme for women can be keeping their strength incognito and creating a persona of helplessness in order to be “pleasing”. This dance is about banishing these “pleasing behaviours” and reclaiming the full expression of the authentic self. This gesture drawing portrays a ballet dancer in movement. She emerges in a blur of hurried strokes of charcoal. The smokey grey on textured watercolour paper reveals the urgency of its creation. There are strong marker lines wrapping around and across the figure underlining the sense of movement and energy captured in this work. The dancer reaches out to one side in an expressive, yet powerful move.

Commission
I love to recreate drawings I have made but sold. If you are interested in commissioning a re-creation of this artwork, you can! I offer these on The Langton Watercolour paper 300gsm in size A2. The price displayed is a 10% deposit and the total price on this artwork is £350. On the basis of this deposit, I will recreate a new original charcoal artwork with the same motif. This will be similar, but not identical. A new original work in its own right. Once the recreation is done I will email you a photo - if you want to proceed then I will then charge the remaining £315 and ship the original work. If you choose not to proceed the £35 deposit will be non-refundable. Please note the artwork will be unframed. After the artwork has been sprayed with fixative it will be carefully rolled with protective tissue paper and sealed in a durable cardboard tube for this drawing to ship globally. Production time will vary depending on availability, but usually it will be created within a week. Shipping differs according to which continent you are on, but within the UK it will be an average of 2-5 days.
