This was the final artwork created as part of my 'Paper Doll' series which looks at notions of identity, culture, community, and connection.

I really enjoyed allowing this painting to 'breathe' - the use of white space, and the dual simplicity and complexity of the paintwork. These figures are in the process of gestating new life and live in a vibrant, primordial landscape that is suggestive of volcanic activity, lightning storms, and forest growth. It is our planet and our people at the beginning of our existence.
