Other information - "I spent many years developing a style of “hidden in plain sight” It initially was ostensibly a woodcut in different layers. Over the years I gradually made the mathematics more and more sophisticated to fine tune the result. But as the resolve of the image got clearer, it became much too easy to see the image. I wanted it hidden. That’s the message of the work: step back to understand. It’s an allegory for life: take a step back to recognise the invisible things that shape you: The people whose shoulders you’ve stood on. With these works I finally returned to obfuscating the image in the colour – something that had been eluding me for some time. The mathematical solution was kind of obvious, and I’m embarrassed to repeat it here, but these works mark a turning point for me – being able to achieve a high resolve and yet still hide the image from up close. Who are these people? They’re the people you know - The people in your life. You tell me."
