Gadfly Minus One – spirals worked in blues, ochres and reddish browns. More deeply, a development of a series of paintings made within the challenges of 2020. The work obliquely references ancient apotropaic threshold mosaics and becomes a sign of resistance and protection.
How do you look at a painting? Do you follow the pattern made by colour or tone or line, can it be done simultaneously?
