This is from a series of works made in 2018, using Victorian photographs as a source and distorting them on a photocopier to stretch out or compress time. Old photographs are a view into past lives and past moments whereas painting exists outside of time. This painting is made from an amalgam of collaged figures from different sources. The figure in the grey suit is the Swiss painter Félix Vallotton (1865-1925).
