Between two

This body of work delved deeper into relational dynamics through abstraction. I explored interaction through colour, form, texture, and spatial tensions in order to observe connection beyond narrative construction. Emphasising layering as a generative tool to interrupting the minds impulse to assign fixed meaning.
Large gestural movement trace the circumference of the prints, creating invisible links across the surface. These gestures disrupt singular points of focus, resisting one dominant perspective and inviting a more fluid mode of perception.
The work allowed space between the internal and external response to breath. Rather than identifying with one or the other, attention settled into the threshold between them.
The central piece began as a single three-metre print and was later divided down the middle. The cut introduced separation – two counterparts appearing from one.
Individually, each half carried its own rhythm and tonal language. Together, continuity revealed itself. Lines met at the divide. Forms entered a gestural dialogue. The difference and unity coexisted.
By interchanging the two halves, new configurations appeared. In every arrangement, they remain in dialogue, distinct yet interdependent. The separation did not fracture the relationship, rather it clarified perception.
This series extended my enquiry into inward and outward perception. What appears divided originates from the same point. What seems opposing is reciprocal.
The smaller works expanded this investigation. Moving beyond duality into three- and four-part compositions, relational balance became more complex. Coherence expanded across multiple pieces within a shared thread.
Here, clarity was explored through contrast – by holding both parts, allowing difference to remain visible while participating in a unified whole.
