Catalogue Note

'To this period belong the lost souls who inhabit such paintings: the Modiglianiesque figures packed into darkened picture-womb, the bewildered clerks, terrorized workers and emaciated doll-women trapped in the semi-urbanized industrial city. Rendered through a semi-Cubist discipline, these fugitives are trapped in a hostile environment, and in their own divided selves.' Saffron & Pundole Art Gallery, May – July 2002, p. 5.
