Then is a curated record, but not a closed past. In this practice the work moves in cycles: forms, materials, and methods shift, yet the same pressures return in new configurations. What came before is not left behind—it remains active in what follows.
Works do not vanish when they leave the active streams. They continue as living references inside the practice, carrying forward tensions, decisions, and thresholds that reappear over time. Then holds these returns and recalibrations: how the work shifts from figure to abstraction, how scaffolding falls away, how colour, light, and pressure take on more weight—not as linear progression, but as recurring movement.
Most works in Then are held in private collections or belong to editions that have closed and are no longer available. A small number remain in the atelier as artist’s proofs or retained artefacts, kept to preserve the integrity of the physical archive. They are presented here not as expired inventory, but as a sustained body of evidence: methods tested, outcomes chosen, conditions carried forward.
Keeping these chapters visible protects context. It ensures the work can be read across cycles, not just moments—foundations and turns, returns and departures, and the forces that keep acting.
