Original acrylic on canvas, 48 x 36 x 2.5” museum profile painted black. 122 x 91 cm.

This painting begins a new series inspired by a New York Times piece challenging the false safety of our own experience, our preconceptions, anxieties, assumptions and prejudices about the nature of reality. “The riskiness of art, the reason why it affects us, is not the riskiness of the subject matter, it is the risk of creating a new way of seeing, a new way of thinking…Every day, in countless ways, you and I convince ourselves about ourselves. True art, when it happens to us, challenges the ‘I’ that we are.” Jeanette Winterson
