Thoughtful and measured response to the theme that asks what a rupture looks like and how this might feel. The painting is reminicent of a volcanic eruption to serve as this symbol. Consideration is given to the textures, volume and colour to evoke the convulsing or rippling of the forms. The careful choice of the shape of the canvas enhances the rupturing effect. Moreover, the title ‘after the fold’ draws out the sensory induced reading of the work; a folding in and rupturing out. The title also opens to conversation or ideas of the ‘aftermath’ of destruction.
