Charcoal drawing
Image 32.5 cm x 51.5 cm (12.75” x 20.25”)
Chapel Perilous is drawn in willow charcoal on a hand-torn half sheet of Somerset Textured paper (300 gsm). I drew the work whilst on residency at Plas Brondanw in what is known there as the brewhouse and which was the original room used by Clough Williams-Ellis when he first took on the house. Whenever I walked into the room, I would startle a pair of bats who would then fly into its massive fireplace. No doubt they had some influence on the work.
The title of the drawing comes from the episode in Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur when Lancelot encounters Hallewes the sorceress at the Chapel Perilous.
I have stabilised the drawing with professional-grade fixative. It will be shipped in a conservation-grade mount from which it can easily be removed if you so wish.
