Figures & Scenes

A good deal of it is deliberately faceless. Lady in Red walks away from you. Shy turns her back entirely. Spanish Dancer is seen from behind with one arm extended out of the frame. Flamenco Dancer is caught mid-turn against near total black with no floor, no room and no audience, so the light on the shoulders carries the whole picture.

Community is the outlier and the most unusual work here. Dozens of standing figures wrapped in pale blankets, painted in greys and black so the crowd reads as pattern first and as people second.
