About 'Thresholds'

The works in this series reflect the thresholds of significant transitions in identity taken from within the artist’s life, from historical events or from within the definition of matter. Often depicted through 'on the cusp' objects such as doors or windows, they consider the larval states in which identitities overlap and shifts into another. 

It is not possible to see or precisely empirically measure when such transitions have occurred - they are mysterious and directly undetectable which endows them with a magical or spiritual quality. We have to imply their occurrence through consequences, by-products or traces left behind - a shaft of light, reflection of sunlight or impression in a wall.

Removing the subject from our attention liberates and unfolds the background often concealed and yet very much present. For a moment, the effect is freed from its cause, and the object becomes the subject - a more independent agent. Some works draw attention to this ambiguity, which superimposes two dimensions; others emphasize their imprecision and subjectivity.
