The Interval Between Faces

This piece continues my exploration of the body as a psychological and material threshold, but the doubling (or tripling) of the head introduces a new register of multiplicity with an embodiment of fractured consciousness. This multiplicity reflects a mind in motion and unable to stabilize into a single self.

The mineral and organic textures embedded in the clothing connect it back to the material language of my other artworks, where the geological meets the human, the surface of paint behaving like sediment, skin, or soil. The forms like the crystalline emerging from the head suggest metamorphosis, or a consciousness in the process of splitting and reforming, at a threshold between human and earth.

There is also a deliberate eeriness here. Art should not resist the eerie; it should enter that realm courageously because the uncanny often opens access to psychological truths that comfort cannot reach. This painting inhabits that in-between space: between the human and the otherworldly, the living and the geological, and stands for the premise that even unease can be a form of revelation.
