A print of an original illustration for a fold-out page in my artist book 'Silent Quarter' (copies available in my shop) it is based on a portentous dream the main character has as a melancholic mix of emotions; sorrow for his dead wife, his own mortality as compared to the immortality of the human race and the reassuring feeling of being replaced by the next generation in a natural and inevitable way and being reunited with his partner in the next life.

Silent Quarter is a darkly beautiful, illustrated short-story. It is an emotional and philosophically reflective journey through the mind of an old man - who is both a mask-maker and a barber - as he comes to the end of his long life of love, service, ceremony and creativity.

In 2016 I ran a Kickstarter in collaboration with Antlers Gallery to fund the production and publishing of the book:
