The relationship between space and figure in my work is intended to be visually uncomfortable, focus and colour are playfully altered as figures appear to be awkwardly displaced or captivated by their formal circumstance.
Bathed in saturated artificial light, these recurring figures make loose reference to the enigmatic and elusive characters of cinema.
In the ‘Domain’ series, their context is an amalgam of Baroque spaces, interior and exterior: a claustrophobic environment, which has evolved through obsessive childhood recollections of luxurious yet improbable spaces.
The introduction of the formal interior and garden is intended to present a fictitious environment, evoking a sense of past which is essentially ‘fixed’ by the saturated use of colour throughout.
