Title: Envelopes of Connection - Grid 1
Size: 51 by 68cm
Painted across the surface of vintage envelopes, this piece explores the fragile, intimate spaces where connection and selfhood overlap. Envelopes are vessels of stories - carriers of longing, news, love, ordinary life - and their worn edges and soft creases become part of the artwork itself.
Using fluid, gestural lines, the portraits emerge as a layered presence: part memory, part emotion, part imagined self. The original handwriting beneath the paint acts as a whispered history, a reminder that we are shaped not only by our own experiences but by the echoes of the people and moments that have touched us.
By working on envelopes that once travelled between hands and homes, the piece reflects on how we communicate, how we hold connection, and how many versions of ourselves we carry quietly within us. A meeting of past and present, intimacy and identity - a portrait of a woman layered like the stories beneath her.
