46 Portrait of Emma co m m e n t ‘A portrait study has many visual complexities and, through a process of careful observation and study, I have to come to grips with them. There is a constant dialogue between what I see and the marks I make. As if in a virtuous circle, the one action dictates the next, until a deeper level of conversation inevitably starts to unfold. It is a place of magic in painting. Perhaps a different kind of knowledge is accessed, an awareness awakened between myself the observer, and the observed. The paint is the language that reveals this story. In it exists my meaning, my process and the tremendous beauty of it’s potential.’ 18 Kerri-Jane EVANS south african 1967– This painting is not the work on auction.
