‘Messages From Old Friends Never Expire’ presents a series of paintings, exploring conversations between durations of time, through material methods and melancholy thinking.
This body of work explores experimental mark making, scratching into the painting. Revealing what lies underneath the surface, while old scrap canvas is embedded onto the skin of the paintings, presenting a dialogue between past and present realities. The work explores researching old drawings from childhood, dissecting their form, shape, inserting it into the current moment. The work provides a sense of loneliness and comfort, exploring the complexities of reflection.
