How many layers, how many masks…?
This piece took weeks to evolve: layers and textures and colours and forms emerging over numerous sessions of spontaneous creation – rather like the masks that humans create in order to take part in this great masquerade so often referred to as ‘life’.

How could I ever have forgotten?
I have awakened once more…
