Dreams of Tomorrow & Yesterday is part of a new series of narrative portraits which places street performers against an urban backdrop in which an inner world of hopes, fears and dreams are manifested in graffiti, street signage and textures.
The Acrobat is an allegory about balance and the inner energy that can both create and destroy. A diecast toy acrobat hovers in the air above an unlit bonfire of matches. The bonfire is on the one hand literal, a dormant promise of fire and all the associated dangers, but it is also a metaphor of an 'inner bonfire' of inspiration and energy, waiting to ignite. Action is on pause and expectations abound. What will become of the acrobat, will he spark the flame, escape the fire, or rise up, phoenix-like from its ashes?
Bridging the Gap is a painting about conflict and reconciliation, measuring out the space between with all it's ambiguity.
The next piece in my spot light series is my etching The Good Ship Union created last year amidst the heady atmosphere of the Brexit Vote. I wanted to make an image which grappled with the maze of contradictory arguments this vote triggered and continues to provokes today.
