To order please read the following:

 

This site will show two basic types of items for sale.

 

1.   Repeatable work; greetings cards, prints etc. These will be stocked in quantity and can generally be ordered without fear of them being out of stock - just use the ‘PayPal - Add Item to Cart’ button which will be provided.

 

2.   The original pieces we exhibit. These, naturally, are unique and when they are gone they are gone (though you can usually re-commission, or commission something else). Rather than order a work, only to find you missed it by minutes, we request that you click on the ‘Request Order Details’ button below and fill in the request form provided. *NOTE - you will need to know the Catalogue Nos. and Name of the works that interest you - so the form opens in a new window to allow to to refer to this page.

* Sending this initial email enquiry does not commit you to anything *

 

We will then email you back confirming that the work is available (or otherwise) and quote you a price, which will be the cost of the item (or items) plus a post and packaging cost calculated for your unique order. We will also inform you how long we can hold this item for you and provide a larger picture of the piece(s) if available.

 

If you wish to purchase it (or them) just confirm this email to be your offer and we will immediately forward you a second email telling you how to pay. This will be through the safety of an independent third party (PayPal) and you will not need a PayPal account to proceed - just a debit or credit card.

I hope this note has been of use. Please click the button here

 

Pay with your Debit or Credit Card or PayPal account We never even see your card details or hold them here - we use PayPal, the experts - but, due to the way authorisation takes place, we can only deliver to the address entered at the PayPal payment screen.

Critical Mass was originally suggested to the artist after she learned about the ‘permanent shadows’ in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bombings in World War 2.

 

People, animals and inanimate objects caught in the blast shielded nearby walls from the intense yet momentary heat wave and, though they were destroyed (and the walls around them damaged), the part of the wall they shielded remained unscathed (if they remained standing) so leaving a permanent ‘negative image’ of what had, at that terrible moment, stood there.

 

Pat Bullen-Whatling has taken this idea a stage further in her series of postmodern photographs, showing shadows and reflections existing without the need of (perhaps without there ever having been) a body to originally cast them.

 

Thus, for this artist, shadows (especially) take on an independent life of their own, they take on mass, so much mass that they eventually exist as a part of this world. So, ‘Critical Mass’ applies to this feature of her shadows, and also, of course, to the quantity of Uranium used in the two devastating bombs.

 

This large and absolutely stunning piece of work would be particularly suited to a business foyer or office perhaps.
