The Ambiguity of what Self?

This piece push's the notion of minimalism, it is an Eradication of all sense of object or life and plays with the notion of one’s interaction with the work  becoming an essential. Using multiple layers of all type of varnish’s and mediums  it exudes a highly reflective surface in selected places within the work, that when one looked upon one may see one’s self and therefore be within the space of the piece (within nothing) and in other spots would lose the reflection so one may glimpse themselves in the reflection but as the viewer analysis’s the piece they lose themselves and begin looking again.

The work is  much more physical, material based and literal  as opposed to the psychological thought of space and being that can evoke one's imagination and thought. 

'Liminality' and 'Nothingness' :

The following body of work is an attempt to eradicate everything that should give the viewer any sense of place or identity, it takes the minimalist approach in trying to tap into the idea of the liminal 'nothingness'

These works are removed  from almost all sense of representation  in order to offer more uncertainty to the viewer, and to eradicate any sense of belonging and eliminate any feeling of comfort the viewer may find in correlation to an object within the composition.

The works emulate so much ambiguity that the style of painting itself is now also in the liminal phase between abstract and representational art.



These works offer the viewer a glimpse of what they may interpret as an everyday object and the uncertainty of it ‘being’ or ‘not being’ while capitulating themselves to the psychological  space around these objects and offering them a taste of the liminal nothingness that may lie
ahead of them, reminding them
of the 'fragility' and scarceness of
of ones life.
