Artwork text and archival details

Adapted from the artist’s archive.

In pale moonlight, a solitary pilgrim moves along Govardhan with his gaze directed ahead. The photograph concentrates on the determination of his stride and the clear direction of the path. His movement stands out against the surrounding night.

The location belongs to the devotional landscape associated with Krishna, giving the walk a context beyond physical travel. The image also allows a more personal reading of resolve: what sustains a person’s direction amid distraction? The pilgrim’s continuing movement leaves that question with the viewer.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
