Blood Shadows (1996)

oils on canvas : 92 x 122 cm

Anne's head stands out from the surrounding images. The reality of her bedroom, the house, the chestnut tree are beginning to 'give way'. The distorted reflection of this reality intermingles with the flows of blood creeping from the wall/bars/limbs on the right, across to the staircase and the bedroom wall. The blue sky above the house becomes an ominous, large, red cloud. Broken memories of the house are stained with the foreground blood.
