IN QUIET COMPANY

This series of work is an eclectic mix of intimate moments and comfortable silences between artist and object. Snapshots that deserved a second look, they portray the silent conversations that take place through the medium of paint, offering a glimpse into the artist’s relationship between self and surroundings.

The viewer is invited into this dialogue of shape, colour and light as familiar contexts are transformed into surreal or nostalgic daydreams. Sharing in this quiet company, they may delight in the solace of object and image.
