The subject of defensive walls continues with a shift in their context. From being seen only as exterior entities their interior presence is given a closer look and in some pieces these merge into an ambiguous state.
The walls take on a life of their own in very different settings, but the use of opposites attract remains the underlying theme and the source of much of the visual tension. An active surface is also emphasized along with extensive use of collage. In some of the work colour is limited to achromatic tones to heighten mystery, mood and atmosphere. This includes the illusion created by stage set walls which in turn has led in other directions such as looking at concealed walls used for cover up and subterfuge.
