140cm x 140cm, Silkscreen & Oil on Canvas
Ocean Swells presents two ambiguous figures within a surreal coastal landscape. One turns away, her face illuminated by a soft orange glow, while the other looks directly towards the viewer from the shadows. Exaggerated colour and obscured identities create a dreamlike scene that resists specificity and invites introspection.
A fluorescent turquoise sky contrasts with the vivid orange form of a bag in the foreground, abstracted to resemble a campfire. Embedded within the cliffside is a silkscreen print of a vintage archival image of Bermuda, functioning as a portal into another time.
Time is central to the work. A photograph taken years earlier is reimagined through the slow process of oil painting, while the archival image is reproduced through the immediacy and chance of silkscreen. Together, these processes explore the relationship between memory and immediacy, and the past and present.
