A closer look at the work

A white-clad upper body appears low within a large black field. A red-and-white patterned head covering and dark band mark the head, but the face remains entirely black. Pale clothing ends at the lower edge. The visible rectangular frame reinforces a precisely bounded stage for these few forms.

Black Hole 1 makes omission the centre of a portrait. Clothing offers clues to a person while the face, a usual site of recognition, is withheld. The work raises the limits of visual attribution. What can outward signs reveal without individual features? The black absence keeps that expectation open rather than supplying an invented identity.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
