Night Studio

"My studio sits in a hollow in the ancient Wiltshire town of Malmesbury, where during the winter months a plume of smoke from its chimney can sometimes be seen long before the building itself. Night Studio is a painted carving, one of a series of wall pieces and one of a number of works which engage with sleep. The studio nestles into a landscape, which takes on the form of a pillow and a relaxed pencil drifts into the land of Morpheus. I often take a backward glimpse as I climb the hill home; seeing the smoke rise, and spread and disappear." James Castle, April 2018
