Waiting for Dawn - print of oil painting by Timothy Neal

ARTIST STATEMENT: A self-portrait largely inspired by Sickert which was made to correspond with a similar portrait of my father to express how we both felt following him separating from my mother. Combined with my anticipation for moving to the UK to study in the following year, I wanted to express how I started to care less about the present in favour of anticipating what I looked forward to in the near future.
