Household paint combined with coloured pencil and varnish in a range of rich tones — It Comes In Waves is one of Tomlinson's She Dreams of Adventures originals, made in her Hackney studio and framed ready to hang. The waves as subject carry the same metaphorical weight as her birds: the rhythmic, inevitable quality of things that keep returning.
Her process is built on making marks and embracing happy accidents, and the combination of household paint, coloured pencil and varnish on the same surface creates exactly the kind of layered, slightly unpredictable result she cultivates. Unique, framed, signed, £325.
