About this work
Insipired by the moody skies of the Pacific Northwest. ‘Zwielicht’ whilst meaning ‘twilight’ in German also refers to the german verb ‘zwielichtig’ which means shift, shady, seedy or unsavoury, even obscure – pointing to a sign of the times in which we live. Everything, today, is obscured and not clear.

A fire on my property and at my home, made me ponder the idea of loss. Here, paint indicates the
notion of existence and loss and the fragility of continuity.

Everything, today, is obscured and not clear.
