My original paintings are informed by created and found photographs and film stills. This particular piece was inspired by a film still of the unofficial film clip for the Odesza song "Sun Models ft. Madelyn Grant". One of my favourite songs to listen to in the studio whilst painting, I wanted to capture the moment just as the model was about to break the surface and first glimpsed her own watery reflection. To me this offers the opportunity to relive that kind of moment, and also that moment of coming across my reflection unexpectedly, and maybe, just maybe, questioning "who" I truly am. I think we all have moments like that - and sometimes this watery reflection is what we find. I've used contrasting colours in teal, orange and deep red, providing a varied and bright palette. In this square composition of an underwater world, the light highlights her face and the large bubbles float up past her as she anticipate her next breath. I have developed my style using contemporary art techniques such as expressionism and pop art. Named after William Shakespeare's Sonnet 3 of the same name, because, well, what do you tell the face thou viewest?
