TOMORROW
MAY NEVER
COME

An ongoing body of work.

Tomorrow May Never Come (TMNC) explores time, presence and the uncertainty of what comes next through reduced images of the human figure. Developed gradually over time, the project returns to gesture, proximity and distance, holding brief moments that can feel both ordinary and fragile. Each work stands on its own while remaining part of an open and evolving series.

Selected Works

ARTIST STATEMENT

Tomorrow May Never Come began with an awareness that ordinary life can shift without warning. The work stays with the tension this creates: between uncertainty and attention, between what we fear losing and what is present now.
Simplified human figures are central to the work. They appear alone, in pairs or in small groups — remaining close, moving apart, running, embracing or looking back. Rather than describing specific events, the images leave their relationships unresolved, allowing tenderness, unease and memory to coexist.
The project develops gradually through drawing, repetition and reduction. Small shifts in posture, distance, scale and colour can change the emotional weight of an image. Meaning often emerges in the space between figures: in a pause, a touch, or a movement towards or away from another person.
TMNC does not try to resolve uncertainty. Instead, it stays with the fragile nature of moments and relationships, and with the heightened attention that comes from knowing they may change or disappear.

PROCESS

The work usually begins with drawing and develops through repetition, reduction and visual testing. Forms are simplified, adjusted and redrawn until gesture, distance and rhythm carry the image.

Some works continue through tests of colour, scale and print. Moving between the screen and the physical print is part of the process, as paper, size and material presence can change how an image is experienced.
