Film image #38, or 'Good girl'
2018, Acrylic on board, 30x30cm
In a very pixellated and mediated field of passionate reds, purples and blues, a father speaks words of affirmation over his little girl. This work is an attempt to embody the ecstasy of divine connection, and the frustration and longing as a result of its failure to do so. The human imperfection in the brushstrokes cause a sense of separation and alienation. But, the work also speaks of the possibility of moments of beauty, in and out of time, however fleeting.
