love in all its frequencies | crush | 90 x 202 cm
flashe, acrylic, graphite and woody pastel on canvas in oiled oak frame
love in all its frequencies started as an idea for a series of paintings and grew into everything i ever want to be co-creating in the autumn of 2023. this painting is really difficult to photograph, it changes form throughout the day, responding to light. I worked with ultra matt vinyl black and acrylic black to create the morphing forms, the graphite is at times almost invisible then shining through the clear form of a woman holding the dark moon in her hands, a dinasaur in the upper left, a looming male figure here, a spunky young woman there, morphing in and out of view, depending on the time of day and the angle of the view. the now you see it, now you don’t, always in the dark expression of the painting depicts the nature of a relationship between an avoidantly attached person and an anxiously attached person.
