'Saints and other Souls’

23 - 29 April 2025

What is the space between purification and purgatory, heaven and hell, exoneration and damnation? Our spiritual, immaterial selves linger in a liminal space betwixt and between.
Photographic portraiture was thought to steal the souls of the subject. Is there a way painting imaginary beings can capture an essense of the soul,or are we projecting too much?
What brings to an end the painting process for me is a resonance, but what are we resonating with?
My work seeks to explore this dichotomy and to examine the space between visual representation and what cannot be seen.
