Press moulded ironstone, applied vitreous slip, stain,and underglaze. Interior Egyptian blue earthenware glaze. At the foot of the pyramids archaeologists have found the remains of several great boats which reminded me of the wind eroded shape of the sphynx. This in turn reminded me of the aerofoil section of aircraft wings, submarine conning towers, felucca sails, etc. The painting describes the traverse of the sun from night into day, light into dark and back. 2007-8. Shown at Rye Art Gallery. Private collection.
