Chasing Shadows

Acrylic on canvas — 120 x 150 cm — 2025

An edge-to-edge composition with no background, only characters. Cool blues, teal and pale grey are warmed by oranges, pinks and yellows. Houses, trees, rabbits, long-beaked birds and crowned figures crowd around a large white face with a single brown eye at the top. Fine hatching, dots and stitch marks fill every shape, rewarding close looking and slow searching.
