Description

The portrait series Le Grand Duc, Flaming June, Icarus, Le Carnaval and La Femme aux Plumes were all produced in Paris, 2005. They depict people isolated and framed with a new identity in an imaginative background. I continued to use the process of applying paint in layers, 'pushing' and 'pulling' it over the surface plane then obliterating the image with a dark ground. Scraping back and dissolving this 'shroud' allowed the figure to re-emerge and harmoniously place itself in its infinite universe.
