When Glass Moves explores painting as a distorted lens, a surface through which subjects can blur, bend and shift.

The exhibition takes its title from the myth that old window glass slowly moves over time, becoming thicker at the base and distorting what is seen through it. Although this idea has been disproved, the artist remains drawn to its romantic possibility.

In this new body of work, paintings become windows half ajar, guiding the eye inward while reflecting something back. The works are not literal, but layered surfaces where image, memory, material and ambiguity meet.

Drawing is central to the artist’s process, with visible marks, layers and colour shifts left on the surface. The artist’s daily work with meat also informs the paintings, bringing ideas of flesh, bone, nourishment, consumption, life and death into the studio.

When Glass Moves considers how perception can be altered by surface, distortion and chance.
