#060: Man is forever a stranger and alone

Oil on canvas.  A figure stands in the centre of the (portrait) canvas, visible to just above the knees, their arms and hands at their side.  The figure is in a city street scene with people and cars bustling behind them.  

Hovering next to and surrounding their head, obscuring their face (from the bridge of their nose to just below the chin), is a pine wooden picket fence.  At the centre of their forehead a remote cabin is pictured.

You inside a room with mirrors covering all four walls, the floor, the ceiling and the back of the door.

#057: The Negative Zone

Oil on canvas.  A person walks across an arctic landscape of nothing but ice stretching for miles, edged with tall mountains.  Dark clouds fill the sky, storms rage above the mountain range.  Behind the person walks an angry-looking polar bear who leans its head down to talk into their ear.  A cloud of breath emits from the bear’s mouth, slightly obscuring the head of the person.  The ice throughout the landscape is littered with their footprints.
