Exhibited at Hotel Bloom, Room 209 (Permanent), Brussels, Belgium

This work was created as part of The Hotel Blooms, BLOOM project. Artists from all over Europe where invited to come to the hotel and paint a mural in one of the 20o rooms due for refurbishment.
I wanted to create a work that would reflect the occupant in the room. At the time I was interested in counting as an artform. I was creating works that the viewer could take some form of satisfaction with, in the knowledge that they know exactly how many marks had been made in the creation of these works.
I wanted to finish off this series of drawings and experimentations by making one last work, on such a scale i hadn't attempted before. The work I created for the Bloom Project '34,560' reflects the exact amount of heartbeats an average person has in an average 8 hours of sleep. Each red circle drawn represents one heartbeat mimicking the appearance of a blood cell.
