Sixty Shards is my first collection of abstract conceptual portraits, created in oil and acrylic on canvas. The series explores portraiture in shards of memories rather than fixed or representational forms. Each painting functions as a shard: a visual fragment that resists realism and instead occupies the space between memory and reality.

These works are not images of people, but moments of recognition that never fully resolve. Each painting stands alone, but the series could also be multiple facets of one person. The shards of memory are grouped by colour, font and surface texture, suggesting presence without narrative closure, inviting the viewer to assemble meaning through absence, disjunction and repetition.

My collections are informed by an interdisciplinary background in ephemeral memory images. My video art, Wash Out, was featured in the WomenCinemakers Special Biennial Edition (September 28, 2018), and Pink Flesh Flipflops was featured by Lift-Off Global Network Limited at Pinewood Studios, England, as one of the First-Time Filmmakers 2018 Christmas Special. My engagement with the perception of ephemeral memory images is an accumulation of unresolved encounters. The series invites both sustained looking and disconnection, so the viewer experiences both positive and negative impact all at once.
