These pieces belong to earlier phases of an ongoing process. They form a closed chapter, but remain active material, continuing to shape what follows.

Many rely on figuration as a structural device. The human presence provided orientation, scale, and tension. Figures functioned as vessels, holding states rather than identities. At the time, they stabilised emotion long enough to work with it.

My practice does not move forward by replacement, but by return. Images, gestures, and materials are revisited, fractured, and reassembled. A finished piece is rarely an endpoint. More often it becomes a source, something to be re-entered or left unresolved as the process shifts.

What remains are fragments, surfaces, and pressures that continue to circulate through newer processes. Earlier works are cut into, sampled, transferred, or held intact as points of resistance. They persist as part of the system rather than as artefacts of a past phase.

Most of these pieces have found their place with collectors. A small number remain held in the atelier archive.
