A group of paintings in which, I hope, questions of boundaries—especially those concerning possession, ideas of belonging, and relationships between inside and outside—acquire new meaning through their means of mediation.

Developed from sources ranging from archived newspaper cuttings found in an artist's notebooks to photographs I took when flying over Greenland, these works shift in appearance in response to the light in which they are exhibited. The photographic images from which they derive are made unstable; form emerges from formlessness before dissolving once more.

Focusing on the decades following the second world war, the works are broadly preoccupied with humanity's relations with animality and technology. A more particular concern is with the energy found in the space between visibility and invisibility, in an age of nuclear fallout and potential annihilation. These concerns align this group with the related series of clouds and hands, as well as the New Light body more generally.
