40″ x 30″ acrylic on canvas 2021. This had to be painted because of the insane number of colours crammed into such a small space and because it was a challenge to see if I could paint something so far out of my comfort zone.
Empty
50×70 cm acrylic on paper 2020. ‘Empty’ plays with perspective, colour and line and displays an obvious link to Escher’s style based as it is on the architecture of the Escher Museum in The Hague. The interplay of the arches, stairs, railings, floors and ceilings contribute to the organised confusion of ‘Empty’- a space waiting for the return of the crowds when life returns to normal.
