A moment of transition. I wanted to loosen up my practice and explore the simple joy and emotion of colour, tone and shape interacting together. Motifs throughout the work continue but they don’t intend to represent one thing or another. Dualities remain between abstract and figurative elements. An interconnectedness between human and plant. The perceived lines of perhaps the sinuous branches of silver birch trees blur against healing bandages of limbs ravaged by softening bones. There are conflicting impulses between solitary ambiguous forms – are they honeybees dancing or scar tissue healing – versus a community of grids that may offer refuge or a desire to control. There is a fine line between our emotions.
