Triptychs
They are the things I like doing most. And I think this may be related to the thought I have sometimes had of making a film. I like the juxtaposition of the images captured on three different canvases.
I see images in series. And I suppose I could go on long beyond the triptych and do five or six together, but I find the triptych is more a balanced unit.
It helps to avoid storytelling if the figures are painted on three different canvases.
In the triptychs I get them rather like police records, looking side face, front face and then side face from the other side.
