Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
The postcards continue a theme using a piece from an early learning jigsaw puzzle to represent a universal figure / presence/ absence. This is to provide a portal for the viewer to consider psychological, real or imagined states of mind - an attempt to make some sense of “the moth eaten tapestry of life!”.
You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.

THIS AUCTION HAS BEEN ORGANISED FOR CHARITY AND ALL ARTWORKS HAVE BEEN GENEROUSLY DONATED BY THE ARTISTS TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE HEPATITIS C TRUST. WHEN THE WORK PRODUCED FOR THE CHARITY IS SOLD ON THE SECONDARY MARKET IT DAMAGES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ARTIST AND PREVENTS US FROM FUNDRAISING.
