Oil on canvas

"While sandpapering a small canvas prior to working on it the 'ghost' of the stretcher came through, and I started to paint frames on the canvases. These paintings work for me on two levels: the relation of the inner rectangle to the surrounding frame, and the image contained in the inner rectangle. These images were often very slight, in some of the last paintings the inner rectangle was empty."
