Calmer Forms

Lately I’ve been exploring a calmer rhythm in my visual language — duo-tone shapes, softened edges, and compositions with more space to breathe.

These works draw on biophilic design principles: the idea that connecting to nature through form, rhythm, and palette can support wellbeing and emotional ease. Botanical shapes, organic curves, and seasonal colour palettes are distilled into abstractions that feel grounding, optimistic, and open to personal interpretation.

It’s a quieter direction, pared back compared to some of my larger, louder collages — but the same Loose Ends energy is there in the flow and the overlaps, just slowed down and given more room to settle.

I’m interested in how art can hold a space, offering steadiness without shouting for attention. These new developments are about balance, stillness, and finding calm in abstraction.
