Paintings
I started painting again after a break of many years during lockdown. Somehow the four walls of a blank white studio made more sense than the real world. And it was as though I'd never stopped: the same ideas, the same themes, overlaying dozens of translucent layers of oil paint to form a luminous surface.
But this time, always in groups of three, as triptychs: trying to make harmony and links in an unbalanced and disconnected world.
