Parallel Tide
Parallel Tide
This work focusses on the relationships between figures, and how the concealment and lack of concealment of the body creates tension. One figure, nude, completely exposed, and yet the identity of the facial features concealed by the inclusion of the mask in her hands creates a boundary between the viewer and the figures within the picture plane. The obstructing frame in front of the nude female acts as a further boundary. The ambiguous arm is secured in mid-motion above the female furthering the tension. The figures co-exist. Their actions indecisive.

Ipseossuary
The newest piece, "Ipseossuary" is the first of a new series of works. The body of work is a continuation of the ideas explored in the piece, "Vigil". The work discusses the distortion of figures, their abstraction, and the psychology and tension that is created through the editing out of specificity. The characters in the work are shrouded and the atmosphere created through lights allow the figures to exist in a "non-space"; between fiction and reality. Objects of nostalgia also become distorted and also lose their identity, operating as obstructions and breaks within the space, furthering the non-dramas of the characters.

The figures are self-aware of the staging and the atmosphere allows the figures to emerge and recede in order to tie themselves to the spaces they surround
