“A painting from imagination using just my fingers and sand paper for the highlights.

This painting developed without planning with yet another period of isolation after the third lockdown. The visceral rawness is the exposure of feeling; it is emotion made manifest.

Let every day be authentic.

I used an extremely limited palette and used household sponges and my fingers instead of a brush. The tactile nature of the work added to the intensity of the piece.”
