In ’Shift’, a recent body of large watercolour works, multiple layers are added throughout the period of making, allowing unexpected structural combinations to cohere over extended time periods into unique works. They engage specifically with optical and spatial disorientation, simultaneously echoing and revitalising elements of the photographic explored in much earlier work. Aspects of light, focus, exposure and filtration are transposed to the drawn and painted surface, with a particular focus on time and duration in the process of making. They extend in size and complexity the layering and colour begun in the Imagined Legacy series (2015/16).
