These two paintings started with a mistake!
I accidentally smeared paint across the background and, instead of painting over it, I decided to follow where it led.
It made me think about something I’ve always found fascinating…the feeling that’s left behind in a room after someone has gone. Almost as though the space still holds a little of their energy.
I wanted these paintings to sit somewhere between presence and absence. The objects are there… but they’re also disappearing into the light. As if you’re catching glimpses of them rather than seeing them completely. I love that sense of movement and quiet vibration it creates.
Funny how the best ideas sometimes come from the moments when things don’t go to plan.
These two new works will be showing with in Johannesburg from 29 July – 1 August at Glenshiel Estate. Tickets are available soon so keep an eye out Joburgers! 💙
