'Form' is a painting of a figure being tended to in an ambiguous setting. There is something dreamlike about the scene, yet the blue gloves introduce a clinical quality that creates a sense of disorientation. The title 'Form' draws attention to the body as just that: a form, like any other shape or presence on a painted surface.
The painting continues my longstanding interest in representing the human figure in a tender, expressive and dreamlike way. I am drawn to close-cropping the figure’s features, allowing the beauty of the painted mark and the physicality of the human form to come to the foreground.
