A figure exists in space. Not fully defined, not fully absent, an outline rather than an identity. In these abstract mixed media works, the human form is reduced to its most essential elements: shadow and light, volume and void. What remains is not a portrait, but a presence, something felt rather than explicitly seen.
These works resist narrative. There is no subject in the traditional sense, no identity to grasp onto. Instead, the figure is an anchor, a fixed point in a field of shifting colour. Deep blacks consume the contours, while deep reds, yellows, and blues bleed into one another, as if the figures are dissolving into their surroundings or emerging from them. The tension between clarity and obscurity holds the composition in balance.

"For us, these prints hold a quiet certainty, a reminder that presence does not need to be absolute to be felt."
As with all of our mixed media prints, process is as much a part of the work as the final composition. The surface holds both structure and gesture; the residue of movement. The material itself becomes part of the figure’s existence, shaping its weight, its fragility, its endurance.
For us, these prints hold a quiet certainty; a reminder that presence does not need to be absolute to be felt. A figure may blur, shift, even fade, but it never disappears entirely. There is always something left behind, something that lingers. What we see, and what we remember, is never fixed. And perhaps, that is enough.
