In the series, ‘Where Depth Begins’, paper faces are slightly raised and suspended from the surface of the canvas. Intensely gestural in its mark making, these faces hover over hazy saturated canvases that appear indistinct and atmospheric. The image no longer resides securely within the painting but also occupies a shallow space in front of it. As the viewer shifts their gaze, the shadow cast by the lifted visage makes depth a lived experience rather than a pictorial illusion.
