p Jake, collage on board, 23 3 19in (58 3 48cm).
‘I was really pleased to make a collage portrait of my
nephew, Jake, and wanted to make it in a slightly freer
way than some commissions I’d made. Jake has very
striking looks and had a serious and watchful gaze when
I took the reference photos of him. He was also football
mad. I wanted my portrait to reflect all these elements.’
