VANISHING POINT

VANISHING POINT is an exhibition of large-scale mixed-media works on canvas (oil and acrylic), incorporating marble sand and flecked gold leaf inspired by Persian techniques. In addition, a sequence of smaller works on board utilizes material retrieved from the Thames foreshore at low tide.

For this series, I wanted to free myself from the constraints of a precise topic or brief. The decision was shaped by certain circumstances in my personal life – I was also reading Tolstoy’s Art and Anarchy.

What emerged was space, sky, distance and the edge of perception – a point of no return. Connections were made with loss and memory, and the vanishing point became a threshold between here and elsewhere.
I reflected on how physical and emotional boundaries shift and evolve. I became preoccupied with transition, transformation, and captured moments where divisions dissolve.

Gold Leaf

I’m currently working on a series of large canvasses. I’m interested in the technique used in Iranian mosques where gold leaf is sieved to create minute balls of gold. An Iranian restorer explained to me how she uses a restorer’s sieve to achieve the same results. In place of a sieve, I’ve used a strainer, using a soft paintbrush in a circular motion to create points of light.

This series of work will be shown later in the year (Sept) at 54 The Gallery in Mayfair – details to follow.
