Artist statement :
These Diptych paintings are developed from the smaller works on paper. Its a process of bathing the canvases and paper with a fluid painted light. The figuration is a broken, sweep - line that is a manifestation of a spiritual internal relationship between the two panels.
They are about a relationship/connection that identifies a persona or a body - an extension of the artist. The painting process in these paintings originally developed in an artist book I made last year titled Ghost Bones. All 6 editions had hand painted pages with digital photographic inserts.
Like pages in a book the diptych format opens up like a book.
