'Balance - equipoise between contrasting,
opposing or interacting elements,
mental and emotional steadiness,
fate or outcome about to be determined,
all things considered.
Drawn equally to differences and similarities.
Historical, sacred, significant, Monday.
A found object, an experiment.
The Kitchen Blind,
The National Gallery.
Re-using materials, ideas, traditions and poses.
The new elements and variations
fit into the world that now belongs to them.
‘Molly and Ruby’ portrays an everyday occurrence:
Seeing two people in love.'
