This image is an amalgamation of nine representations of owls from ancient Egyptian art. Obviously there was some variation due to whether the owls were painted or carved, but I was intrigued at how certain elements of the design stayed constant and some varied. The images were taken from throughtout Egypt and from a chronological spread of about a thousand years. Whilst the images are copies of existing art I wanted to create something new by combining them. This painting will be on show at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour at the Mall Galleries in London 30 March -10 April 2011.
