Anteros: Love Returned

Created over seven and a half years, Anteros began in 2016 and was set aside for years — too strange, too unresolved to complete.
It returned slowly, through new technique and a quiet reappraisal of what it might become.
A moth caught in a threshold — is it emerging from stone, or dissolving into it?

Another image created with the care of your eyes in mind — for the way they might follow what I’ve shaped by hand.

Hangs beautifully with: 

Hypnopompia — both paintings were created over the same seven-and-a-half-year period, shaped by the same influences and curiosities.
