One of a series I started on last year and want to get back to in time. There`s another one on this page (see below, right). These are groups of people posing together (as if for a camera), their bodies seem partly melded together, one dark mass, dressed similarly and faces indistinct/unrecognisable, but still they are somehow separate, looking at the camera/viewer and not each other. I want to convey the sense of being `alone in a crowd` or the basic `aloneness` or `separateness` of a person even when in the company of others, be they friends, family or strangers, a feeling/sense I have always assumed most people will recognise, albeit experienced differently by each of us. I may be completely wrong and this could be something peculiar to some and alien to others, I don`t really know, but I`m hoping I`ve managed to get this onto the canvas with more succes than I am having attempting to put it into words.
