Through paintings and engravings on glass over mixed media drawings ‘Wave’ refers not just to the physical sea, but also to the waves of feeling and thought that rise and fall away in the viewer, as they stand before an individual work or step back to experience the totality of the show.
It aims to create reflective spaces that feel physical, puts gentleness on a par with the bold, and opens to the possibility of an eternity that is dynamic and not fixed.
‘Wave’ moves between abstraction and figuration as if these two are not opposites but part of the same fluid continuum.
