Existing at the threshold between colour and translucency, the main themes (pink, blue, and green) are representative of the “humours” of life - flesh, water/air, and flora. The combination of tenderness and interspersed boundaries are asking us to consider what the margins are between where the atoms that manifest us end and the rest of the world begins. Particularly where those edges dissolve in reference to sexuality and mitosis and the implications of internal bodies, human and otherwise.

Through the oscillation between texture and subtlety, the oils create pulsing and organic forms that allow multiple viewings to find different structures and resonances in the subjects. The visibility of the brush strokes imply the hand of the artist and the work is simultaneously abstract and tangible, suggesting the first & second bodies of the artist and viewer as in Daisy Hildyard's 2017 novel The Second Body. The experimentation across scales weaves a coherent collection that alludes to the tapestry of life and the concept of interbeing that the series insists upon.
