This marks the start of a new body of work that also contains echoes of, and references to, themes and locations in previous paintings. Following the blue cyanotype paintings made during the Covid pandemic, new colour combinations are entering this palette, with yellow ochre currently dominating this along with other earth pigments.

Cerberus

This is a painting of two layers relating to the experience and limitations of communication via Skype. The shadowy 'figure' is trapped behind a screen, obscured by the pointillist/divisionist dots of light. The colours suggest a nocturnal view, dominated by orange, which reflects of the ubiquitous colouring of the sodium vapour streetlamp.
