These figures emerged from a liminal state, somewhere between waking and dreaming. At first there was a sense of observing. Then a realisation that I was also being seen. The moment was brief, but it carried through into this painting before any attempt to understand what had occurred.

In my art practice, meaning is not imposed or pursued. It follows, if it comes at all. What matters is remaining faithful to the sensation and allowing what needs to arrive, take form.

This piece holds that moment. Not as a narrative, but as a presence. A trace of an encounter that can not be explained with language.

This piece of art was created in a time within a wider body of art exploring similar themes.
