The two series of works entitled ‘Spectral Presents’ give form to the ethereal. These vibrantly coloured and textured ghostly forms appear to have no real substance beyond eyes and mouths, taking the simplicity of a pared back identity to its limits. Elemental in their ‘presences’, the phantasms hover on the border of visibility: seeming to emerge into view - or perhaps in the process of disappearing.

Spectral Presents (Pink), 2022. Acrylic & watercolour on canvas, 12 elements, exhibited as a group. 25 x 30 cm each.
