'I Wake To A Mausoleum'

My new painting went to her new home today. Inspired by Sylvia Plath’s devastating poem ‘The Rival’ where the writer maps the geography of her feelings towards her husband’s mistress.

Sylvia says '‘And your first gift is making stone out of everything. I wake to a mausoleum; you are here,”

The model featured is Alexandra Brunei. A fashion model with Greys Modelling agency. Alex has featured in many publications all over the world including covers for Italian Vogue and Modern Woman.
