Life Series 1, 11, 111,and 1v are large paintings (60" x 72") depicting what I believe to be the "normal” prescribed evolution of most human beings.
They begin alone and with that "aloneness” comes the question "who am I?” - with the reply eventually, "I am, who I am”.
Inevitably, they fall in love and their question of 'who am I' becomes ' who are we?' 'Are we a couple?' do I lose myself or do I become something bigger by being with you. Life Series 11 show a couple united but still there is space between them suggesting togetherness but also independence.
Couple-hood inevitable leads to parenthood- depicted in Life Series 111. The couple - now parents - with a child between them- adding to their "couple-hood” - but also dividing it.
Life Series 1v depicts the final life stage - death. No longer are there any questions- one is who one is- and once again, they are alone…or maybe not….
