Lost Without You

"There is a particular disorientation that comes when something threatens the loss of a loved one. What once felt grounded and secure can suddenly seem untethered, uncertain...your whole world shifts.

And yet, in that space between before and after - where the past feels painful and the future unknown - there is also a heightened awareness of relationship and the love shared. A better understanding of how deep the connection truly is, and how lost you'd be if they were suddenly gone.

I recently faced that kind of fear, and this was the first figurescape I created in its wake.

'Lost Without You' reflects both the fragility and the beauty of relationship...the awareness of how life might feel without them, touched by uncertainty and longing...but, more importantly, it celebrates what is here now; the shared moments, the closeness, the familiarity, the sense of walking side by side.

There is a peace and comfort in that realisation. There's gratitude. And light. And that brings hope. Because even in the face of uncertainty, that special bond remains - steady, enduring, and deeply felt - something that will forever transcend time, place, or circumstance."

Created with palette knives on high grade stretched cotton canvas, this emotive artwork is framed in solid Oak timber and is satin varnished. It will come with a COA with the above artist statement written on the back.

NB: While every effort is made to capture the true colours and details of my artwork, every screen is different and art viewed online does not do my work justice. Slight differences may be evident between a screen image and the true tone and textures of my work, which can be more vivid and beautiful in reality. Scale may also be slightly off due to the insitu art app used, so please ensure you measure your space.
