Original artwork description:

"This being human is a guest house.
Every morning is a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor…
Welcome and entertain them all.
Treat each guest honourably.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice. Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. “ - Rumi

This timber board was created by my framer using offcuts from a furniture maker. I love the imperfections! The gaps, knots and rough patches have all been left adding to the character of each piece.

Materials used:

Acrylic on reclaimed timber
