One of an ongoing series of drawings being made in relation to an archaeological dig in South Somerset. I'm regularly documenting the progress of the dig through photography and also drawing and painting on site then using the images as springboards for more imaginative works.

This is a painting of two layers relating to the experience and limitations of communication via Skype. The shadowy 'figure' is trapped behind a screen, obscured by the pointillist/divisionist dots of light. The colours suggest a nocturnal view, dominated by orange, which reflects of the ubiquitous colouring of the sodium vapour streetlamp.
