Figure With Expanding Cage
Figure With Expanding Cage
Hand-painted silkscreen 54 x 80 cm
A figure moves across an imagined frozen surface, wings poised as if to catch them should the ice give way. takes its cue from old paintings of frozen lakes in Berlin’s museums—images of grace and risk.
The web of lines around the figure is similar to that of Head With Vortex. It’s a web of conditioned thought built up over years of ideas, habits, and beliefs and the figure seems caught between safety and possibility.

Figure With Expanding Cage
Each painting carries its own journey - here’s a glimpse of how this piece unfolded.
In Berlin, I spent a lot of time looking at paintings of skaters on ice from the Middle Ages. There’s always the quiet tension of beauty and danger in those scenes. This figure was born from that atmosphere. I hadn’t painted the human form for nearly twenty years, and this was one of the first times it began to return to my work.
