Here we lie deep blue Gold drops reflect light through

Gold drops reflect light through the painting and the fractured lines suggest a moment in time being shattered

I remember fields of gold

The painted light reacts with the light falling upon the painting

The colours each symbolise an aspect of war and the way the canvas has been deconstructed with layers of paint laid on then removed reflects how war destroys. Deep markings and texture appear on the canvas due where a palette knife was used
