About the Artwork

Lunar Crossings is loosely based on a scene from a Tarkovsky film called "Ivan's Childhood". I've looked at a war scene through a romanticised lens, incorporating elements such as moonlight and water. It is a place based work and doesn't necessarily stem from a fixed narrative. The image is painted in washes of oils and pigments on linen, interspersed with thick marks made in oils, to sculpt the image-ground dynamic. I'm interested in the conflict of thin and thick screens of paint, and seen and unseen - in context to the subject image recessing and emerging from its background.
