Slipping Out of Reality by Jacqueline Thow

By (author): Jacqueline Thow

Title: Slipping Out of Reality

Subtitle: People and Portraits

Blurb:

Inspired by the enduring residue of human experience, Jacqueline's portraits exhibit a withdrawal and inward focussed quality. There is a shared awkwardness and fragility - the figures caught between motion and stillness - unresolved and uncertain. Using the traditional materials of charcoal and pastel, to enhance a tactile and fragile appearance, the human element is both enhanced and deliberately distorted, as if emerging from a dream or afterimage. These are memory ghosts, perhaps memory selves - each one suggesting, "I was here. I think. I felt something. I'm not sure what."
