About this artwork
'Bound' grew out of my ongoing fascination with organic forms caught between tension and release — a single looping ribbon, knotted at its peak, folding back into itself in one unbroken movement.
I work in oils on raw linen, building up each pleat and fold slowly, letting the warm texture of the canvas breathe through the composition. The colour moves from ochre through blush and deep burgundy — skin-like, botanical, neither fully one thing nor… another.
I want viewers to feel the contradiction at the heart of the piece: something constrained that is also completely whole. Bound, but not broken.
