Mixed media on canvas, 183 x 204cm

This painting started as a large sketch, when I tried to work out my installation Every angel is terrifying. I circled around themes of absence, loss and a guest for hope.
This work took me back to painting after a few years break, when I was exploring other mediums. With Visitor something profound had changed in my way of painting. While the narrative side is still important, the material and tactile elements are more central than before.
