About the work

A solitary woman sits curled and cross-armed at the centre of a vast swirling vortex of tangled vines and tendrils, her figure encircled as if held — or hidden — by the living mass around her. Scattered white butterflies and leaf-like forms drift across a muted grey-blue ground, lending the composition a haunting, dreamlike tension between entrapment and shelter.
