WITHIN THE SHEETS
“Within The Sheets” is a conceptual art exploration of the 3 common stages of today’s modern dating epidemic: Situationships.
​
The mini-series explores the intimate moments we share with our beds during this time, all the way from the excitement of a new relationship’s inception, its middle-ground stability, ending at the heartbreak and/or ghosting stage.

The middle of the three paintings is titled by the same name, "Within The Sheets" as this was the initial inspiration for the mini-series.

"Within The Sheets" stands as a testament to the increasing emotional intimacy between partners, serving as the catalyst for the entire collection. Through the symbolic imagery of dishevelled bed sheets, the painting communicates the comfort and warmth of being intertwined with a loved one, inviting viewers to reflect on the power of connection and the beauty found within the chaos of everyday life.

"Leave A Message" serves as the poignant conclusion to the "Within The Sheets" collection, exploring the abrupt end of a fleeting connection with an undertone of deep sorrow and solitude.
Unlike its predecessors where messy bed sheets symbolised intimacy, here they embody chaos and turmoil, reflecting the unsettling nature of the situation. At the centre of the composition lies a landline telephone surrounded by crumpled tissues, heightening the sense of melancholy.
The title, "Leave A Message," evokes the ghosting period following the dissolution of the relationship, where attempts at communication are met with silence. It remains open to interpretation whether the lack of contact is a deliberate choice or a result of being shut out by the other party, leaving viewers to contemplate the complexities of human connection and its often painful endings.
